You can publish EPUB books on the web, with full-featured viewer running on web browser. And you can embed it in other webpages (like YouTube videos).

The folder structure and default public URL has changed in Bibi v1.0.0. But don't worry. You still can use not only the new style URL but also the same old style URL as before.

If you already published books on the web with BiB/i which version is older than v1.0.0, and want to update Bibi to v1.0.0 or newer, but do not want to change the public URLs of the books,

Using unzipped folder is recommended for the book which is heavy or contains many files. Using zipped EPUB file is recommended for the book which is light and contains less files.

In both ways, at first, upload bibi and 'bibi-bookshelf' folders to the same directory on your web server. bibi contains all programs of Bibi, and 'bibi-bookshelf' is for the storage of the books you upload. You can use different directory for the bookshelf instead of 'bibi-bookshelf' by editing "bookshelf" option in 'bibi/presets/default.js'.

Files in __dist folder generated with npm start are development version. Please don't forget to run npm run build and build production version before you upload.
