IMMEDIATE RELEASE: (Sydney — October 08, 2009)
Publishers cutting out the middle
man from ebook
distribution
‘eBook platform allows publishers to
self manage their global eBook distribution’
Independent Australian health care
publisher Ausmed is exhibiting at the Frankfurt Book Fair this year with a brand
new digital offering for its international distributors.
Ausmed, which produces health care
education textbooks and related training services for nurses and allied health
staff, aims to empower their partnering distributors with an end to end online
eBook distribution platform to compete in the ever-growing world of digital
distribution and pipelining to market.
This unique opportunity has come
about for Ausmed thanks to the innovative eBook distribution technology from
DNAML called DNL DRM.
Ausmed will be able to empower their
current distribution partners with eBook distribution. They can also expand
their market through the DNL DRM by simply, easily and without set-up costs,
sign up new distribution partners and be able to negotiate distribution
commissions through the DNL DRM system.
This allows Ausmed to cut out
wholesalers such by negating the need to hire expensive third-party distributors
and pass on that saving to their
customers.
The DNL DRM platform also provides
all parties participating in the transaction with real time reporting of sales
and many other options that can assist the publisher with the distribution of
their eBooks in the global market.
DNAML CEO, Adam Schmidt says: “The
DNL DRM platform is groundbreaking news for all publishers, in particular small
and independent publishers, as it allows them to move into a larger realm of
retail sales, whilst maintaining independent control over their own profits.”
“This is just the reality of the
changing face of the publishing industry as eBooks begin to capture the public
interest and innovative eBook technology like the DNL DRM format offers
publishers independent and the capability to expand outside the established
channels. We all love to make more sales and this is what we provide to the
publisher,” says Schmidt.
DNL DRM uses the interactive DNL
eBook format as its core which also benefits publishers like Ausmed, who require
an audio and visual component to enhance their ebook publications. Ausmed
says that this audio element is one of the features that sets their e-textbooks
apart from others in the health care publishing market.
“The ebooks being created by Ausmed
are unique as many of them allow the reader to listen to a short summary of each
chapter right from inside the ebook,” says William Egan, Ausmed Sales and
Innovation Officer.
“This enhances the reader’s end
experience and aids with comprehension of the
subject.”
Ausmed will be presenting their DNL
DRM-formatted ebooks at the Frankfurt Book Fair which commences on October
14th 2009.
