"We have been using similar technologies and working with Spencer Ewald since the spring of 2002 to help promote our tradeshows. Because of their excellent track record, it only made sense to include nxtbook media™ in our vendor selection process, and in the end, to choose them as our digital publishing partner."
– Francis Heid, Vice President of Publishing Operations, Advanstar Communications

"We looked at a lot of technologies in digitizing our guides. nxtbook is excellent in terms of technology, user-friendliness and value. This is an initiative that adds strong value for our advertisers as well as for our major destination partners."
– Peter Koclanes, President and CEO, Weaver Official Publications

"nxtbook media has been, by far, the most valued partner to Cadalyst while we explored the unknown territory of digital delivery of the publication. The staff at nxtbook media have publishing backgrounds and understand the issues and challenges I have as a publisher which helped me make educated business decisions during the entire process. With the help of nxtbook media, I've built a successful model for Cadalyst as well as setting a standard in the CAD industry for being innovative and creative when it comes to digital delivery. And I was able to do this while still preserving the trust and confidence of our subscribers, who are extremely tech-savvy and skeptical. Now we have 10,000 personal direct request subscribers which is a definite endorsement of the platform and we continue to be seen by both our readers and advertisers as industry leaders because of it."
– Dana Fisher, Group Publisher, Advanstar/Cadalyst Group

"I don't think I've ever worked with a company that has a more on-the-ball and responsive staff than nxtbook. Every time I've contacted you or anyone else there and left a message, I've always heard back in a very timely manner. In addition, you and everyone else there has such a can-do attitude. Doing business with you is hassle free and very positive."
– Cindy Solomon, Project Manager, United Methodist Communication

Readers

(From an email to one of nxtbook media's clients) I had to send this email, the electronic version is great, but my main reason is the system you chose is the best I have dealt with, I like being able to save this off to an exe, bring it home and read it there. I have other publications, which use Zimo, and well, I would never write anything good about Zimo. By picking this method over Zimo, I think you made the top notch selection. Thanks again!

I just used a nxtbook for the first time...My initial impression is very positive. I've used the Zinio reader for a few magazines (eg. PC Magazine) for over a year. I strongly prefer your web-based content management system, with access available via internet and a web browser. With Zinio, I have 95 magazine issues on my hard drive wasting 965 MB of space! I can only easily access them from one computer. With your system, content is stored online (with the option to download it), and I assume I can access it anywhere.

Your image quality is great...I look forward to seeing more documents using your technology. It's a much better idea than distributing PDFs or files in other formats.

Dr. Dobb's Journal - Sept 2006 edition...
Digital Magazine via Browser => WOW!
I am impressed! You got it right! Good Job! Give somebody a raise!
– T.E. Stirewalt Jr., Computer Guru & Attorney

I just wanted to drop you guys a note to say that the electronic edition of Dr. Dobbs Journal is totally COOL! I'm using Safari under Mac OSX with no problems. I especially like the search utility and page turning animation. If only there was a lightweight computer that could match the flexibility (literally) of paper magazines the game would be over!

Thanks for such a cool and useful app.
– M. Kurtinitis

I have had subscriptions to several other digital publications, NY Times, PC Magazine, et alia. This was undoubtedly the best implementation of a digital subscription that I've seen.
– J. Turner

Impressed with the nxtbook technology - best I've ever dealt with so far. Good Job!
– D. Kramer

Like the sticky notes and bookmark features - very convenient. Also prefer to print only those articles of specific interest instead of tearing pages out of the print version. Digital version has many more options. I receive several other publications in digital format as well.
– G. Saylor

Slick. I like the tool bar. Very cool and high tech.
– L. Sabean

Best online digital format by far. No waiting, simple functions.
– S. Zwolinski

The digital edition is outstanding!
– A. Machen

I like using the reader much better than Adobe's.
– J. Schutt

Nice format - better than any other digital print media I have seen!
– R. Graves

I like the web-based pub, vs. something like Zinio. Also, easy to navigate.
– B. Colwin

I LOVED it...I have seen other attempts to simuate paper magazines, but they are usually quirky, buggy, and difficult to use. Finally, an online magazine that looks the way it should, is easy to navigate, has search capabilities, and doesn't lock up and crash. I am amazed...this is a great system.
– T. Condon

I really like this approach to magazine subscription. The visual layout and navigation was awesome!
– S. Dorris

Very good. it was easy to run and read
– D. Pilt

Very well done. No plug-ins to download. No lengthy delays while pages downloaded. I printed four pages and they came out looking great. Very nice!
– P. Conley

I am a user of Zino and I found this digital magizine even better.

"I really like this new digital version. I travel and a laptop is where I have everything. It is nice to be able to read the latest issue or look back while I am waiting at the airport or just sitting at home."
