I'm having no luck with bookjs – is it working?
I followed the demo instructions, but get blank pages or grid of blue lines.
Chrome and Canary.
It looks like it will be really good though.

i think PDF is going to be currency for paper production for a long
time and paper will be important for a long time. also in other
communities, such as scientific research, PDF is the currency. they
love pdf...

so i think it is well worth it.

also, have you tried bookjs? it will replace the current objavi PDF
renderer soon
