The SupplierWiki site has offered free eBooks for years, but as outdated downloadable PDFs. We wanted to reward our users with a premium-feeling eReader experience that’s easy to use and keeps everything stored on-site.
The project had one constraint: users can only access the eReader if they make a free SupplierWiki account.

This project proved deceptively simple: there are so many eReader apps, but none of them quite fit our audience’s needs. Most eReaders are optimized for methodical and comprehensive reading, as one would read a novel.
Supply chain professionals, however, often want to get in and get out as soon as they find the information they need, and our content is written to facilitate that type of scanning. So, I created an interactive table of contents that allows heading-to-heading navigation, as well as more traditional wayfinding tools like a chapter switcher and progress bar.
