Visit Ebooks Corporation's Publishers Services

A digital wave is moving toward traditional book

publishers. Are you ready to profit from the changes
ahead? Digital distribution promises cost savings
and, more importantly, access to new markets.
Most publishers have a web site, but lack the expertise and
the resources to create and manage a secure ebook
fulfillment infrastructure.

Sell Ebooks to Your Web Site Visitors

You can sell direct to the people who visit your web site with our
secure retail fulfillment module.

Sell Collections of Ebooks Direct to Libraries

Create a list of books in a given subject category and sell them
directly to academic libraries for use by their patrons.
Publishers spend millions of dollars shipping hardcopy books to
professors and reviewers, yet have little idea of the effectiveness of
this marketing method. Our Digital Comps service enables
publishers to instantly provide digital access at a fraction of the
cost of shipping printed books.

Ebooks Corporation has a decade of experience and unique

technical assets that complement traditional retailers’ existing
businesses and aspirations. By partnering with Ebooks Corporation,
you will be able to leapfrog into new markets, without the capital
outlay and risks involved in building a digital fulfillment system from
scratch.
Use your existing web store to sell ebook versions of popular books
direct to your customers. Ebooks Corporation has all the necessary
infrastructure – and over 100,000 titles – to enable you to provide a
first class ebook fulfillment service.

In recent years, Amazon has added ebook functionality to its print

book sales business, and so can you. Ebooks Corporation provides a
wide range of digital sales and marketing tools, including:

• Preview (see inside)

• Sell bundles: Bundle Hardcopy + eBook
• Search Inside
• Widgets – redistributable previews of popular books which link
back to your own site.

• Partner with a company that has over a decade of experience

in ebook retailing
• Elegant online and offline reading experience
• No content licensing required
• Launch in 3 weeks with 100,000 titles
 • Low-cost entry to a new channel
• Participate in our ongoing innovation program
• Seamless, branded user experience

With permanent access to all the books in “My Bookshelf” via a

simple web site, users can just log in and start reading. No software
to install, no hoops to jump through. You’re just reading web pages.
We were the first company anywhere to enable a see-inside-the-
book function, and the first to offer full-text search across the full
contents of our entire collection of books. EBL and eBooks.com run
on proprietary technologies that set these businesses apart from
the rest of the field. The centerpiece of the company’s development
and competitive edge in coming years will be eb20: Ebooks 2.0.

Ebooks 2.0 says that we should try and understand what end users
reasonably expect of an ebook, and then give it to them. In
summary, we believe that what users expect and deserve are:

Start reading an ebook as soon as you’ve bought it, without

suffering the pain of having to jump through intervening technical
hoops. Your ebook should open when you click on it.
Having bought the digital version of a book, I should be able to open
it in any digital environment, on any of my devices.
I bought this book – it should be mine to do with as I (legally) want;
without clumsy and intrusive DRM getting in the way. Ebooks should
come with reasonable print and copy allowances.
Ebooks 2.0 says that users don’t actually mind DRM; what they do
mind is when DRM crowds them out and gets in the way of their fair
and reasonable use of a book they’ve paid for. DRM should be there,
but it should be invisible.
eb20 Online Reader is a revolutionary online ebook reader that acts
like a sophisticated installed computer pro-gram but is just a web
page. It requires no software installation, not even Adobe Reader.
eb20 is at the heart of eBooks.com, and is now available for license
to publishers, booksellers and others, to enhance their customers’
on-line experience.
eb20 Online Reader enables users to access their collection of
ebooks from any computer, anywhere, anytime. It is more secure
than other online reader programs, but it has all the simplicity and
the features that users expect from an ebook reading application.

In addition to being the simplest ebook reading experience around,

eb20 enables users to do everything they can do with a print book,
and much more:
• Highlight sections of the book
• Add comments, notes
• Easy citation
• Bookmark pages
• Print and copy (regulated amounts of) text
• Immersive reading mode lets you get lost in the narrative
without visual clutter

About ebook
Ebooks Corporation Limited is an Australian public company with
established businesses at three points in the digital book supply
chain. The company owns proven technologies for receiving,
processing, managing and securely delivering digital books in
multiple formats from hundreds of publishers.
The company’s shares are not traded on a stock exchange, but it
conforms to national and international governance and accounting
standards. Its accounts are audited annually.
Ebooks Corporation operates three businesses which
utilize largely the same technical infrastructure and
repository of content:
1. eBooks.com is a mature and rapidly growing retail business.
2. EBL, the academic library service launched in December 2004,
has been
adopted by over one hundred universities and colleges around
the world.
3. Ebook Services offers marketing and fulfillment services to
book
publishers and retailers.

Vision n approach

We take it as axiomatic that, over time, reading will be increasingly

digital, and that books are not exempt from this trend. As the book
industry converts from paper to digital, almost every market
participant faces new, disruptive threats and opportunities. We are
a company with 10 year's experience with every aspect of ebooks
and a wealth of unique technologies behind us, and we're uniquely
placed to assist consumers, publishers, retailers and libraries to
navigate the changes ahead.
Our background in traditional bookselling means that we understand
more than encryption and technology issues. Our customer-focused
approach to R&D has enabled Ebooks Corporation to develop and
deploy intuitive interfaces that give end users what they really
want. We are not driven by technology, but by customers' needs. We
understand the concerns of authors, publishers and readers and use
that knowledge to create solutions that work.
There are commercial opportunities at almost every turn, as the
book industry faces up to its biggest technological change since
1450. Our approach is to identify those opportunities that suit our
own capabilities and ethos, and then to focus on them. We will not
try to be all things to all people. If you buy an ebook from
eBooks.com, we will support you. If your library offers a collection
of EBL texts, we stand behind every book in that collection. If you
rely on us to provide fulfillment services, then you have our full
attention, always.
You can also rely on us to keep coming out with really cool stuff.
Our technical development plans for the coming year are
tremendously exciting; we will change the way that people access
and use books forever.
