Announcing Nxtbook Liberty for Mobile Devices
September 26, 2008 by Marcus
At this week’s FOLIO Show, we formally announced the release of Nxtbook Liberty.
What is it? Nxtbook Liberty is a text-based version of the Nxtbook, rendering three new versions of the Nxtbook in addition to the existing Flash version.
Did you say three? Yes - a platform-agnostic mobile version, an html accessible version for the visually impaired and a text-to-speech version.
What does platform-agnostic mean? Unlike many digital magazine providers, Nxtbook Liberty runs on virtually every phone with a mobile browser, including Blackberries, iPhones, Razrs, Krazrs, etc.
Do I buy all three separately? Nope - Nxtbook Liberty includes all four versions of the Nxtbook (plus some rich media options for the Flash Nxtbook!)
Shouldn’t you have something on the website about this? We’re working on it. Give us a few days.
What happens to user data? All user data becomes part of the tracking system. If anybody reads your content in any format, it shows in the tracking.
How is this different than other digital magazines on cell phones? By relying on the images of the magazines, other digital magazine products make it appear as if you’re viewing a magazine from a cut-out or keyhole. With a text-based digital magazine, the text is sized, formatted and flowed according to the device, creating a more eloquent reading experience.
Can I make money on this? If you can sell a banner ad, you can make money on this.
