We explore the design issues of adaptive hyperbooks in relation to how using hypermedia technology changes the nature of the traditional book. To address some of these issues we have developed and tested MetaLinks, an authoring tool and web server for adaptive hyperbooks. The system is designed to: 1) support inquiry, exploratory, or curiosity-driven learning in richly interconnected material; 2) support the construction and conceptualisation of content through three "epistemic" forms: narrative, network, and hierarchy, and 3) ameliorate a number of usability issues: disorientation, cognitive overload, poor narrative flow, and poor conceptual flow. These goals are achieved through a number of interface and adaptive features, including "narrative smoothing", "custom depth control", and "thematic links".
