Solutions for Book Publishers

Reference and textbook publishers are among those with the most to gain from electronic distribution. Our packaged solutions provide an ideal way to begin creating your online environment or to add functionality. These a-la-carte offerings are very cost-effective-as low as a few thousand dollars.

Online Editorial

Augment your paper-oriented production process with Web-oriented editorial tools to save costs and manage multi-channel offerings.

XML

Whether you are starting from Quark, Word, or paper, Kanda can quickly and cost-effectively generate an XML version of your books. The resultant XML's structure can be as deep as you may want to support a variety of new book-based applications in the coming years. XML offers a variety of reuse options, such as print-on-demand and "smart" electronic versions, and is also enabling the inclusion of interactive features.

eBooks

Creating an eBook from your existing offering is not always as easy as it appears, especially if you need special features such as accessibility for the disabled (Section 509). Kanda is well-versed in creating eBooks in a variety of standards, so you can offer them on the Web or for distribution via CDs or handheld devices.

Spell-checker

The only spell-checker on the market with the word body comprised of the full American Heritage Dictionary, Fourth Edition, this spell-checker has been incorporated into many award-winning online and desktop applications and eBooks. In addition to English, we support over two dozen languages.

Digital Object Identifier (DOI)

A promising new technology that helps book publishers cross-sell their books and related offerings on the Web as well as improve tracking, distribution, copyright protection and other e-commerce functions. Kanda has a well-defined process to demonstrate DOI's business case and tag your content.

Google-izing

Makes your online content searchable and findable. Unlike most competitive approaches, our solution allows search engines to intelligently index all of your content while protecting your ability to charge for the parts of your content that you identify as premium.

Auxiliary Web Content

Web-only offerings can be augmented to provide extra revenue with a variety of interactive content that rounds out the customer's experience of the electronic book. Kanda uses technologies such as Flash, Director, and Java. Applications we have developed include self-study and other forms of eLearning.
