Illustrated Ebooks During the Tablet Holidays: Opportunities for Publishers (WEBcast 12/15/11)

Free WEBcast presented by Digital Book World and sponsored by Innodata

Tune in on December 15th at 1 PM ET / 10 AM PT for the latest on illustrated ebooks on new devices.

This holiday season, millions of readers will be unwrapping new tablets designed with ebooks in mind. With beautiful full-color screens, the Kindle Fire, Vox, and Nook Color offer publishers new ways to display their highly illustrated content. Publishers who have hesitated to make their highly illustrated print content available to consumers will undoubtedly want to start distributing widely, and those who have great ebooks in the marketplace today will most likely see a huge revenue boost this month.

But highly illustrated content is also one of the most difficult to design, format, and produce. In this free 1-hour WEBcast, we’ll talk with publishers, retailers, and experts with hands-on experience creating great color content. Attendees will find out what goes into great illustrated ebooks, and how to improve your ebooks so that your ebooks will be recommended well past the holiday season.

Attendees Will Learn

  • Format considerations when producing complex ebooks – does a title require reflowable text or fixed layout and how does that change the publishing process?
  • What platform and retailer differences publishers need to keep in mind when planning a release strategy.
  • Basic overview of workflow and resources necessary to produce highly illustrated content.
  • How to ensure that your titles look their best on multiple devices.
  • What additional items do publishers need to watch out for when creating content for 7” ereading tablets, like the Nook, Kindle Fire, and Vox?
  • When should your publisher explore creating fixed-layout titles?
  • What sort of content displays best on tablets, and how can your content better exploit these screen.
  • How ereader tablets are opening up new digital revenue streams and new markets.

    Will you be recording this session? I cannot listen in at the time because I am book-signing all day. AS an author/illustrator/designer I have a very strong interest in what you may have say.
    I would greatly appreciate it if you made its content available retrospectively, Thanks.
