The sustained increase in popularity for e-publications such as e-books and e-magazines clearly demonstrates that this trend is not just a passing phenomenon. Recent research shows that in the first quarter of 2010 the demand for e-books have more than tripled compared to the previous year. With the introduction of many new reader technologies such as the Apple iBooks on iPad and new e-ink readers are sure to continue fueling this increase.
The publishing sector has its own inherent requirements to meet this increasing demand for e-publications. First and foremost, workflows that allow for simultaneous creation and output for both press and e-publishing platforms need to be implemented. Along with this requirement, the e-publication distribution channels have to be safe and secure against piracy; though this security should not be overly prohibitive for end-users.
In order to address these requirements, the Kodelite e-publishing solutions have been created as four main services and solutions;
- E-Publication Creation and Enrichment services
- E-Publication Distribution Rights Management (DRM) and Content protection
- Secure delivery platforms for E-Publications
- End-user E-Publication reading solutions on mobile and desktop platforms
