Publishing PIE Books
With PIE's capability to convert normal English texts to the PIE form, we can create books that feature the resulting PIE texts. Such books can be a great resource for people who learn English as a second language (ESL), and children in English-speaking countries learning to read.
Check out the following sample PIE books, and then see how to create such books below.
