Webback
Ænglish
Noun
webback (plural webbacks)
- a work of fiction which is published in printed as well as eBook format[1] with addenda, glossaries, back-stories and tangentially linked information available online thereby extending the narrative as determined by the reader's curiosity[2] rather than the writer's design.
Notes
- enhanced ebooks with hotlinks embedded into the text are not strictly webbacks, they're... um... e-ebooks[3]
- the first claimed[4] webback was SLABSCAPE:RESET published in 2010 by [Blipbooks]
