Results
Publishers continue to embrace digital book production
and this trend will grow over the coming years. The advantages of
digital production include keeping titles in print while meeting the
reduced quantity requirements of titles as they get older.
In addition, publishers can test new markets and
titles while introducing specialized titles within limited markets.
The results, publishers have increased inventory management and more
available capital for other applications. It will be these
efficiencies of production and greater financial control that will
help the digital short-run market grow.
In addition, the utilization of custom text and custom
covers may open whole new markets and micro markets for publishers
in corporate and educational applications. The servicing of niche
and specialty markets, which was previously viewed as unprofitable,
will now grow.
Starnet Media Group is committed to becoming part of
the new publishing world — let us know how we can be of service to
your company.
