| Publisher Rowman & Littlefield are starting their own eBook Store and taking the direct to market approach. Over 12,000 of their own eBooks will be available starting today. The eBook Store is closely connected with the publisher's Unity platform for title development, which houses full title metadata and all the digital assets associated with each new book. This close integration means that the e-book version of each new title is available for purchase from the moment of publication. The publisher also garners more revenue in the long-term bypassing the need to rely on other online bookstores. Finally, Rowman & Littlefield intends on working with libraries to provide their electronic books directly. Commenting on the launch, CEO Jed Lyons said: "Technology has become a real strength of Rowman & Littlefield, with robust bespoke systems supporting all of the processes that connect our authors with our readers. We know that our academic, library, professional and trade customers all value the ability to access our titles in every format, and this new platform gives us the capability to deliver books instantly to a range of devices including PCs, MACs, IOS and Android. The system uses Adobe Content Server to enable secure Digital Rights Management. " Rowman & Littlefield Opens their own eBook Store is a post from: E-Reader News |
