I need to create an online book that can be viewed universally ( any device the participant would use ).

Thank you Carrie – you're right, I did take some time to assemble the information, but now I've saved it so I can paste it into an answer when someone asks a similar question.
It would be helpful to all people on the forum if you can report back what you used in the end and how you got on.
Best wishes,
Derek
