ipad publishing solutions save money
According to the Independent, in a few months on the market, the Apple iPad has become the gadget of choice for many adults, with its internet access, film and music player and, above all, its “game-changing” ebook reader. Owners of iPads have been downloading new books at a rate of almost 77,000 a day – and manufacturer Apple already claims the device has won more than a fifth of the ebook market.
Publishing solutions promise financial rewards
As a result, publishing solutions are coming onto the market for both iPad. and iPhone. The market is ripe and many ipad apps developers offer solutions, software and the latest new ipad apps.
Yudu for example offers a apps development, where you purchase your very own branded ‘app’ for your title, which will house all your publications. YUDU will submit your app for approval by Apple. You can then sell or give your app away via Apple’s App Store.
Once you got your bespoke app live, every time you publish your digital edition, you can also self publish your iPad/iPhone editions to your title’s App . As soon you publish new edition readers with iphone or iPads will be notified.
There is a huge financial incentive for both, publishers and readers. Ebooks typically retail for lower prices than print titles, which is obviously an incentive to the reader, but in bulk offer certain cost savings to the publisher due to reduction in print, storage and distribution costs.
Fanancial savings will further drive ebook adoption and further change the publishing market for good. ipad publishing solutions providers are well placed to exploint this trend.
