Publishers Cutting Out The Middle Man In Ebook Distribution

Oct. 25, 2009 - PRLog -- Independent Australian health care publisher Ausmed exhibited at the Frankfurt Book Fair this year with a brand new digital offering for its international distributors.

Ausmed, which produces health care education textbooks and related training services for nurses and allied health staff, aims to empower their partnering distributors with an end to end online eBook distribution platform to compete in the ever-growing world of digital distribution and pipelining to market.

This unique opportunity has come about for Ausmed thanks to the innovative eBook distribution technology from DNAML called DNL DRM.

Ausmed will now be able to empower their current distribution partners with eBook distribution. They can also expand their market through the DNL DRM by simply, easily and without set-up costs, sign up new distribution partners and be able to negotiate distribution commissions through the DNL DRM system.

This allows Ausmed to cut out wholesalers such by negating the need to hire expensive third-party distributors and pass on that saving to their customers.

The DNL DRM platform also provides all parties participating in the transaction with real time reporting of sales and many other options that can assist the publisher with the distribution of their eBooks in the global market.

DNAML CEO, Adam Schmidt says: “The DNL DRM platform is groundbreaking news for all publishers, in particular small and independent publishers, as it allows them to move into a larger realm of retail sales, whilst maintaining independent control over their own profits.”

“This is just the reality of the changing face of the publishing industry as eBooks begin to capture the public interest and innovative eBook technology like the DNL DRM format offers publishers independent and the capability to expand outside the established channels. We all love to make more sales and this is what we provide to the publisher,” says Schmidt.

DNL DRM uses the interactive DNL eBook format as its core which also benefits publishers like Ausmed, who require an audio and visual component to enhance their ebook publications.  Ausmed says that this audio element is one of the features that sets their e-textbooks apart from others in the health care publishing market.

“The ebooks being created by Ausmed are unique as many of them allow the reader to listen to a short summary of each chapter right from inside the ebook,” says William Egan, Ausmed Sales and Innovation Officer.

“This enhances the reader’s end experience and aids with comprehension of the subject.”
