Simon Says ‘OK’ to Global Reader; Brings 100s of great titles to mobile
Simon & Schuster and Macmillan Publishing Solutions (MPS) announced a partnership that will allow MPS to distribute over 500 S&S books on its unique mobile website Global Reader (available at http://wap.global-reader.com on your mobile device). Some of the great titles immediately available - The Secret, Star Trek, Nancy Drew, and Hemingway with many to come - (visit http://www.simonsays.com to learn more about their library)
The Global Reader has been an ongoing project with MPS and Fli Digital for over a year, and through constant innovation both the MPS and Fli teams have successfully extended the Fresh Mobile Platform to include this unique content. In addition to the Simon & Shuster content, regular visitors will notice a revamp of the user interface, additional support on smart phones such as Blackberries and the iPhone, as well as more rich media content such as audio and video in a variety of flavors!
On the backend, Fli Digital worked closely with the MPS team to integrate industry standard formats into its Content Management System such as EPUB - giving MPS the ability to add easily mobile as a distribution channel for all of its current and new clients.
