Mobile Website Vs Mobile Application
Why use a mobile website?Using a library mobile website allows for
greater cross-platform compatibilityMobile applications require more
programmingA mobile website is more cost effective since
we do not have to develop a separate iOS (Apple) application and Android application

eBooks and PHP Parsing

eBook resources from the desktop site.This intended for mobile and tablet users.This is used so there isn’t redundant
maintained between the two sites.Once a new eBook resource is added, it is
automatically available on the mobile site.
