Book in digital form
Use on
Computers

Interactivity

Audio, semantics, social…
And then we wanted more…

Market thoughts
In one of the surveys with publishers, response showed that 85% will be
producing eBooks in addition to print
Modest activity in the College, School and STM markets towards eBooks
Digital adoption with-in Trade & Semi-Trade faster
My content is not suitable for Tablet / Readers…
Limited feature-set / functionality within standards..
I don’t have the needed skillset in-house….
Monetization…
