Why aren't there more? Well, if you *want* to write a web-first book—again, not even a fancy new-media thing, just a book whose text is online—there's no quick consumer-grade solution. Spin up Ghost and write some HTML, I guess. Or elaborately theme a Wordpress?

@andy_matuschak we follow a strict definition of book for publishing on the web—a stack of well formatted pages. https://bubblin.io/docs/concept And ‘offline first’, with a service worker. - 2 more replies

These are excellent websites. However, a book must have strong pagination (at least). 93% developers end up ‘buying’ the dead tree because a reflow-able website cannot match the class of a paginated corpus.

Indeed: I'm frustrated with the lack of object stability in web books too. e.g. https://notes.andymatuschak.org/z6cxCDMXRWBritiSgzs4cdKd737H5U9XLBaFr … I'm not sure that digitized pagination is the only solution, and I'd be interested in seeing other attempts! Don't know of any plausible ones, though.
