MEMOLA project publishes today the e-book "La Alpujarra Paisaje Cultural" (La Alpujarra Cultural Landscape)

This education digital resource has been put together by Maurizio Toscano (Eachtra Archaeological Projects Ltd) and Lara Delgado (University of Granada), with the collaboration of several researchers and illustrators belonging to other institutions. For additional information read http://www.memolaproject.eu/node/1121

It is freely available on the iBooks Store (400MB - download over Wi-Fi).

The .ibooks format, at the moment, is compatible only with iOS and OS X platforms (iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, Mac).  We decided to use this format over the cross-platform .epub because it offers wider possibilities for content and widgets and a richer experience for the users, anyway we do not exclude to publish in the future a reduced version in EPUB format for not compatible devices.
