Electronic content delivery solutions provider Impelsys, US, has unveiled the latest version of its digital publishing software platform at BookExpo America (BEA) 2012 in New York City.
iPublishCentral is a comprehensive platform that allows publishers to warehouse, deliver, distribute, market and sell their eBooks without making significant capital or engineering resource investments on their own. The beta version of iPublishCentral 4.0 includes important enhancements for both publishers, who are seeking to monetise their digital assets by selling eBooks to institutions, and for end users, who are downloading those eBooks onto their preferred devices.
iPublishCentral 4.0 will help publishers increase their institutional sales in a few key ways. The new version enables institutional patrons to access eBooks from their iPads, laptops and desktop computers and read their titles offline, regardless of the authentication mode that is set-up for the institution. It includes content protection that enables publishers to control the expiration terms for eBook downloads and define them however they choose, giving them increased flexibility. Additionally, iPublishCentral 4.0 has a new feature that allows institutions to produce a custom report on how many times a title was opened and downloaded, providing greater visibility into trends.
The new version of iPublishCentral also includes some important usability enhancements for end users who download eBooks from any of Impelsys' publishing partners worldwide. These improvements are centered around creating a better reading experience while reading PDF versions of eBook titles, both online and offline.
