Nxtbook Media Now Offers Kindle Support

Nxtbook Media is proud to be the first digital magazine producer to provide content on the Amazon Kindle, the most successful e-Ink device to date. Publishers using the Nxtbook Media platform will now have the ability to have their content viewed on a device that continues to gather support both online and from personalities like Oprah Winfrey.

Digital magazines can be accessed from the Kindle via the device’s integrated browser. Though users will find this feature on the Kindle’s "Experimental" menu, reading the Nxtbook is no different than reading a book on the device.

"Rather than serving up oversized pages and artwork to a device which lacks color and brilliant resolution, users of the Kindle will receive a modified version of Nxtbook Liberty, our text-based solution which has been developed for screen readers and mobile devices," says Marketing Director Marcus Grimm. "Developing a Kindle-specific version was a natural extension of a product that’s designed to take magazine content to new places. Though it would’ve been just as easy to serve up magazines in their original format, the text version delivers content in a manner which the intended audience has already pledged their approval of.

Nxtbook also says that Kindle support will be offered at no additional cost to customers of Nxtbook Media’s Liberty program. "As people use an ever growing array of devices to get content, it would be wrong for us to charge simply to reach a specific device, as other companies have for the iPhone. The Liberty program is our way to ensure publishers their content will appear across the spectrum of emerging devices. Moreover, until the Kindle moves the web browser from the "Experimental" menu, we expect to continue development as both they and us refine the web surfing process on the device."
