1.5 Activity 7 Comparing e-books for children

HTML format - a site where the collection of oscar wilde's stories, poems and plays can be viewed, the structure is in paragraphs and the stories are viewed on one page. There is a colour background.
PDF - you read the story page by page, there are no special features it is just blank, the purpose is to view different stories. Nothing is done to attract children.
Rosetta Project - it uses interactive multimedia you can view it with sound and you view it age by page. The books are illustrated, the purpose old books online and to view some you have to download by paying.
Treasure Island - structure in paragraphs, you view the story on page. The purpose is to view novels.
We Read - a list of viares child stories, that are view like the orginal story book, fully illustrated and user interface is very child friendly.

I think the order of best books are:
We read (BEST)
Rosetta Project
Treasure Island
HTML
PDF

I think this order as they appeal most to children with there layout and the way the books are viewed with illustaration as We read has the best illustration but the PDF is just a document with the story on.
