Abstract :
Sophie is an easy-to-use authoring tool that enables its users to combine various media into a new kind of book. With SophieServer, an extension to Sophie, it is now possible to share Sophie Books with readers all over the world. Readers can share their knowledge and discuss their insights with the community. For that, virtual book-clubs offer guided tours that can be prepared, attended, commented, and evolved online by interested members. Alternatively, readers can just enjoy Sophie books, reading them within their Web browser.
