Sheridan has expanded its current eCommerce platforms to include online reading. The American Meteorological Society (AMS) – a current Sheridan eCommerce user who desired a way to sell protected eBooks from its website without the drawbacks that DRM typically brings both publishers and consumers – was the first to commit to Sheridan's new online reading option and it is now available to all publishers using Sheridan's eCommerce platforms.
This feature rich reading platform offers enhanced reading experiences not found in leading DRM supported software such as the ability to read from any browser with no additional software needed; the ability to create flashcards and comprehensive study guides; annotation, comment, and pen tools; synced reading to bookmarks, notes, and last page read; and a collaboration tool that allows multiple users who have bought the book to "meet" online and share notes or flashcards.
With online reading, AMS remains in control of the content as purchased titles can only be accessed one session at a time from the purchasers My eLibrary. The ability to offer time based rentals can be customised to the publisher's liking.
