DNL Ebooks


Macmillan Publishing Solutions (MPS) Global Reader Announces Digital Sales Partnership with DNAML.

Coming out of talks held during the recent Frankfurt Book Fair, DNAML’s DNL eBooks and MPS Mobile’s Global Reader are joining forces to accelerate publisher adoption of the DNL eBook format (.DNL) and the Global Reader mobile format worldwide.


DNAML has over 110 million DNL readers currently active on laptops and computers in the world market while Global Reader is on 80 mobile carriers in over 160 countries and can be potentially accessed by over 3.3 billion mobile handsets worldwide.Publishers are being encouraged to submit either a PDF or XML file (preferably EPUB) to Macmillan Publishing Services who can then produce a bundle of products at a special price that will include immediate access to both the DNL eBook and Global Reader sales platforms.
"Macmillan Publishing Solutions has been providing high quality conversion work to DNAML. Working with the MPS team on market penetration is a natural progression of our relationship as DNL eBooks and Global Reader complement each other so very well," says Adam Schmidt CEO of DNAML. "We feel the DNL eBook solution is a great solution for publishers to quickly get their books to market in a high quality eBook format. One that can take advantage of all the multi-media capabilities eBooks can give, while not sacrificing security and control. Working with both mobile and DNL formats as outputs also insures that we can provide publishers with a high quality, consistent yet inexpensive EPUB product they can use elsewhere," says Bob Kasher Director of Sales for MPS Mobile and Macmillan Publishing Solutions New Media Division.DNAML and Global Reader’s DRM (Digital Rights Management) solutions are considered the most secure eBook DRM in their respective markets giving publishers the security to protect and control their copyright effectively anywhere in the world.


Both systems also allow territorial rights to be respected giving publishers the option to turn on and turn off rights to their products in any country in the world. This provides publishers with new effective options to the two biggest potential media markets – the laptop computer and the smart phone – available to them. This partnership helps publishers enter the eBook market for minimal cost and maximum market accessibility. It also gives publishers real time information on customer sales and direct access to reselling that customer without the mediating influence of third party vendors keeping that information to themselves.About MPS Mobile and Global ReaderGlobal Reader is available on over 75 Mobile Carriers worldwide in over 160 countries.

What is EPub standart?


Global digital distributor OverDrive ( http://www.overdrive.com/) will join Sony Reader, Random House UK, and the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF) to present initial experiences with EPUB eBook distribution at the Frankfurt Book Fair.


The session titled "Digital Publishing and the EPUB Standard" is part of the Frankfurt Book Fair Digital Lunch program and takes place at noon on Thursday, Oct. 16 in Hall 4C - Alliance Room.
As a 20-year veteran of the eBook marketplace and early advocate of the EPUB format, OverDrive brings its unique perspective of working with publishers, booksellers, end users, and hardware and software developers to the panel. OverDrive is the first distributor to provide EPUB eBook fulfillment services for online retailers including Waterstone's ( http://www.waterstones.com/), WHSmith Online ( http://www.whsmith.co.uk/), Books on Board ( http://www.booksonboard.com/), A1Books ( http://www.a1books.co.in/), and others. OverDrive also expects to offer EPUB eBooks to its network of more than 8,500 public libraries in the near future.
EPUB is a reflowable, XML-based format for eBooks and other digital publications developed by IDPF ( http://www.idpf.org/) and adopted by leading publishers and technology firms as the industry standard. OverDrive will release a white paper on preparing and distributing EPUB titles and optimizing files for the Sony Reader Digital Book later this month. Publishers can send requests for the EPUB white paper to EPUB@overdrive.com.


"The launch of Adobe Digital Editions and the Sony Reader Digital Book with EPUB-reading capabilities provide great opportunities for participating in the digital marketplace," said Steve Potash, president and CEO of OverDrive. "OverDrive's global distribution network and expansive catalog of digital audiobooks, eBooks, music, and video is enabling channels for publishers adopting the emerging EPUB format."
