Adobe InDesign is a software application produced by Adobe Systems. It can be used to create works such as posters, flyers, brochures, magazines, newspapers and books. InDesign can also publish content suitable for tablet devices in conjunction with Adobe Digital Publishing Suite. Graphic designers and production artists are the principal users, creating and laying out periodical publications, posters, and print media. It also supports export to EPUB and SWF formats to create digital publications, and content suitable for consumption on tablet computers. The Adobe InCopy word processor uses the same formatting engine as InDesign.

Kobo eReader

The Kobo eReader is an e-book reader produced by Toronto based company Kobo Inc.. The company’s name is an anagram of ‘book’. The original version was released in May 2010 (July in the US) and was marketed as a minimalist alternative to the more expensive e-book readers available at the time. As of March 2010, fifty eight percent of Kobo Inc. had been owned by Indigo Books & Music;[1] the Japanese conglomerate Rakuten bought control of Kobo in January 2012.[3] Like most e-book readers, the Kobo uses an electronic ink screen.[1].

Fixed Layout

While many new books will undoubtedly be published in an enhanced format, many new and existing titles will continue to be converted into traditional fixed layouts. For these projects, Amwise experience in digitization and conversion enables us to deliver the highest quality at the lowest cost. We’re well equipped to deliver on large-volume conversion projects that require quick turnaround times.

.mobi

MOBI is the format used by the MobiPocket Reader. It may have a .mobi extension or it may have a .prc extension. The extension can be changed by the user to either of the accepted forms. In either case it may be DRM protected or non-DRM. The .prc extension is used because the PalmOS doesn’t support any file extensions except .prc or .pdb. Note that Mobipocket prohibits their DRM format to be used on dedicated eBook readers that support other DRM formats.

MOBI format was originally an extension of the PalmDOC format by adding certain HTML like tags to the data. Many MOBI formatted documents still use this form. However there is also a high compression version of this file format that compresses data to a larger degree in a proprietary manner. There are some third party programs that can read the eBooks in the original MOBI format but there are only a few third party programs that can read the eBooks in the new compressed form. The higher compression mode is using a Huffman coding scheme that has been called the Huff/cdic algorithm. For a description in Python check huffcdic.py available as part of the Caliber project.

From time to time features have been added to the format so new files may have problems if you try to read them with a down level reader. Currently the source files follow the guidelines in the Open eBook format.

Testing and QA

We also engage in beta testing of products, testing on multiple browsers, ensuring that all information is correct and accurate and that each product also functions properly, without any fatal errors and bugs. Outsourcing beta testing frees precious in-house resources for publishers, while ensuring functionality, usability, interoperability, and accessibility of digital information products prior to roll out.
