 ## Introduction
 
-There is no single dominant format for audiobooks and so far IDPF/W3C hasn't shown any particular interest in them.
-
 The goal of this document is to provide an audiobook profile for the [Readium Web Publication Manifest](https://github.com/readium/webpub-manifest) that will cover the following requirements:
 
 - provide metadata
 - list the different components of an audiobook
 - support multiple audio formats and means of accessing an audiobook (streaming or downloads)
 
-While the Audiobook Manifest is technically a profile of the Web Publication Manifest, it has its own media type and file extension in order to maximize compatibilty with audio apps:

-## Timeline
-
-A manifest can also provide additional navigation through a `timeline` collection.
-
-A timeline is a list of labels pointing to specific timestamps in an audiobook.
-
-Each link object in a `timeline` collection has the following requirements:
-
-- it must point to an audio file listed in the `spine` and use a media fragment to point to a specific timestamp
-- it must provide a `title`
-- it must not use `type`, `duration` or `bitrate` to avoid duplication with the `spine`
-
-If omitted, then the `spine` should have all infomation needed to label chapters.
-
-Timelines are typically most useful for two scenarios:
-
-- Audiobooks with a complex table of contents
-- When the spine contains a single file, and therefore no chapter information.
-
 ## Container
 
 In order to facilitate distribution, both manifest and audio files can also be distributed using a container.

 When an audiobook is distributed in a container (instead of simply as a manifest), the manifest has the following additional restrictions:
 
-- the `spine` must strictly reference audio files that are present in the container
-- to reference such files, all URIs in the `spine` must be relative to the manifest (at the root of the container)

     "description": "Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions is an 1884 science fiction novella by the English schoolmaster Edwin Abbott Abbott. As a satire, Flatland offered pointed observations on the social hierarchy of Victorian culture. However, the novella's more enduring contribution is its examination of dimensions; in a foreword to one of the many publications of the novella, noted science writer Isaac Asimov described Flatland as \"The best introduction one can find into the manner of perceiving dimensions.\" As such, the novella is still popular amongst mathematics, physics and computer science students.
