"For the most part, electronic books follow the printed book where stories are linear. It works and stories are written that way.
"Except for genre of interactive adventure writing. To do that, you need to investigateInklewriter. This application provides a wonderful environment for writing but, more importantly, it helps the author write the interactive, branching story. Just writing your story and when it comes time to branch, just add the options along with the paragraph that will be the destination! Inklewriter keeps track of everything so that you don’t have any points where your reader is left hanging!"
