Laker Compendium - Digital Publications for iPad

Laker is a framework for building HTML based "publications" for iPad. Its based on the Baker framework

It has support for a loading screen, table of contents, swiping from page to page, sound, orientation changes, etc. It is fully customizable and comes with a short slick looking example project and looks like would be great for digital magazines, catalogs, slideshows, etc.

The documentation also points you to Making an iPad HTML5 App & making it really fast by Thomas Fuchs which is a great read.
