E-book developments...
October 12th 2010 08:51
Barnes and Noble have come up with a rather oddly named e-book publishing program: Pubit! (the exclamation mark is part of the name, it seems). I came across a link to it this morning somewhere and took a look. Apparently you can do your book or journal or magazine or whatever in your own format and the Pubit! program will turn it into B&N's e-book format. Sounds very promising...
Just getting the book into any sort of format is the first issue!
And on another front, there's been a new development in the e-book reading application front, with Bluefire's arrival. As they say on their site, the most important feature is this:
Bluefire Reader supports Adobe eBook DRM because it's become an industry standard across a wide variety of booksellers and public libraries. Adobe DRM allows you to transfer books that you've purchased from many different locations between your reading devices and personal computers.
I'm not entirely au fait with DRM and industry standards in regard to e-book readers, but Martin Taylor's e-report assures me this is very good news. Read more about it on his site....
