The market for eBooks content
and technology has looked promising for a number of years,
but many startups in this sector have withered. The
challenges of marrying content, software and hardware into
a reader-friendly experience
remain as centuries-old packaging concepts
confront readers trained by the experiences of the
Web and gaming technology for a different level of entertainment
and information experiences. But new technology components,
content marketing and production methods are bringing new
solutions to this evolving market. Has the time for eBooks
finally arrived? This report examines the content,
technology and human factors driving the eBooks marketplace
today, and offers strategic recommendations for vendors
and purchasing institutions on how to position
themselves for success with eBooks.
Vendors covered include NetLibrary, OverDrive, Knovel,
Books 24x7, Safari Books Online, Questia, Books@Ovid,
eBrary, Franklin, Hewlett-Packard, Palm, Adobe, Microsoft,
Mobipocket, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Baker & Taylor and
Ingram. |
