Press Releases
31,000 DNL eBook titles aimed at emerging Netbook market by end August - April 2009
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
“31,000 tailor made eBooks
for Netbooks…”
DNAML announces a rollout of 31,000 titles in the DNL
eBook format by the end of August.
(Sydney — March 08, 2009): On the
back of a surge in demand for the consumer-friendly and secure DNL eBook
format, DNAML is in the process of delivering over 31,000 DNL eBook titles by
the end of August this year aimed at the fast growing Netbook market.
The
DNL eBooks will be available on the soon-to-be launched eBook.com web site as
well as other DNAML distribution channels including direct distribution through
preloading of eBooks on Netbooks, and other devices such as laptops and flash
drives, retail stores, and reseller web sites around the world.
Publishers
such as Harper Collins, Hachette, Random House, and Wiley are part of the
initial rollout which includes 35 medium-to-large publishers as well as over
250 small publishers and self-published authors.
The initial
rollout has accelerated recently due to the increasing popularity of the DNL
eBook format amongst publishers. “Outsourcing centers in India are now
approaching DNAML for training in mass scale conversion from ePub to DNL, prompted
by a sudden increase in publisher demand,“ says Adam Schmidt, CEO of
DNAML.
”We
estimate that DNAML itself will release around 75,000 titles in the DNL eBook
format over the next 12 months, with another 10,000 to 15,000 being produced
independently by publishers and authors around the world,” said Schmidt.
DNAML
offers publishers a very flexible end-to-end eBook solution. With sophisticated
design options, simple production/conversion processes, bullet-proof security,
and a powerful distribution solution, the DNL format is the ebook format
for the Netbook, PC, and laptop market.
As an option the DNL DRM (Digital Rights Management;
see www.dnldrm.com) offers extremely powerful distribution tools that allow the
publisher to maintain contact with eBook buyers. “The DNL DRM is an open system,"
explained Schmidt. "We strongly believe that publishers understand their customers
and can market digital versions of the print book appropriately to them if they
are given the ability to do so. Allowing publisher’s access to consumers that
have purchased their eBook and have opted in to receive updates and further
notifications of new offerings is uncommon within current book-distribution
systems. However, we believe that this concept will catch on and publishers
will be promoting directly to their customers just as software publishers have
been doing successfully for over a decade now.” said Schmidt
