Nxtbook Media™ Introduces the Nxtbook FX
Lancaster, Penn. — June 23, 2004
New Addition to Nxtbook™ Product Line Provides Rich Media Functionality While Reducing Costs and Production Time
Nxtbook Media™ (NBM), a technology-based company that provides multimedia digital publishing solutions, introduces the Nxtbook FX™, the third generation of the Nxtbook™ publishing platform.
Designed in direct response to feedback and requests from both customers and end-users (readers), the Nxtbook FX™ version features increased functionality and a new, more modern graphical user interface (GUI). Based on XML and rich media, the Nxtbook FX™ brings a richer look and feel to the e-reading experience. It also maintains all of the web-based advantages of the original Nxtbook™ used to publish magazines, catalogs, brochure-ware, or any other print products in an easy-to-read digital format.
The new FX addition to the Nxtbook™ product line reproduces the experience of reading a print publication, allowing publishers to present information as a double-page or single page-oriented document optimized for reading on a computer screen. New product enhancements include multiple zoom levels, thumbnail previews, book marking of pages, and an accessible table of contents. In addition to these new features, full text search, printing of the entire publication, and saving and email forwarding are present.
The new format now provides a seamless integration into the production cycle for creating a digital edition of the hardcopy content. FX is fully compliant with BPA and
ABC regulations for circulation of magazines and newsletters. Readers will be able to instantly access the publication online, without the need to download a proprietary reader or the issue to read it.
“Publishers work hard to package and deliver content to their subscribers in the format in which those customers desire. To help them compete more effectively in the Internet marketplace, we developed the Nxtbook FX™ to allow them to enhance and distribute that content in a digital format,” commented Michael Biggerstaff, President and CEO of Reprint Management Services (RMS), the full-service reprint marketing and production firm and parent company of NBM. “Our new FX publishing platform makes the digital publishing process much easier for publishers, and makes the FX product an invaluable addition to the Nxtbook™ product line,” he finished.
“We have had a tremendously positive response to the Nxtbook FX™ from our customer base and we are delighted with the response to our efforts to provide publishers with a total digital content solutions set,” added Spencer Ewald, NBM Vice President, Founder.
