MediaNet launches eBook catalogue and distribution service -

Digital media content provider MediaNet, US, has announced the launch of a comprehensive eBook catalogue and product offering. The advanced MN Open platform will now support the integration of eBooks using an intuitive API that has been widely adopted by over 100 application developers, web publishers and online retailers for music offerings.

MediaNet will make available a broad catalogue of eBooks including the most popular titles that are available through major physical and online book sellers. These eBooks will initially be offered in the Adobe ePub and PDF formats which are compatible with a wide variety of devices including PC, Mac, Sony Reader, Nook and new entrants such as the Plastic Logic Que. Additional formats will be introduced as needed.

Currently there are applications available in the marketplace that will allow for compatibility with the ‘iDevices’ including the iPhone and iPad. Web publishers and application developers can access MediaNet’s eBook service through an API built on top of MediaNet’s enterprise class content delivery platform. MediaNet’s API provides complete control over the user experience, functionality, e-commerce and content catalogue. Online retailers can rapidly implement more advanced browsing, discovery, and purchase options under their own brand.

In May 2010, MediaNet will make available its popular suite of Web Components for the eBooks offering. With no coding required and a quick time to market, Web Components allow anyone to place dynamically displayed eBook content anywhere on the Web. This offers a contextually rich experience with eBooks content presented to end users in a relevant manner when they are most interested in an author or subject and likely to transact.
