Incentive Publications Creates New Web Site with Advanced eBook Features
Incentive Publications, an educational publisher specializing in middle school educational resources and teaching strategies books for grades K-12, announces the launch of its new web site at www.incentivepublications.com. The site includes eBook features rivaling any currently available in the publishing industry.
Says J. Blake Parker, President & CEO of Incentive Publications, "IP will continue to sell the bulk of our materials through educational retailers, Barnes & Noble, and many other distributors. However, because many customers are now choosing to buy traditional books and digital books online, we really needed a web site with sophisticated e-commerce capabilities. After being in the publishing business for 38 years, we have taken a huge leap and have high expectations for our online sales in 2006 and beyond."
The Incentive Publications web site is unique in its eBook capabilities that incorporate Adobe's PDF document standard. Some companies provide a sample of the book, but few allow potential readers to preview entire books online -- the title page or a few introductory pages of text. IP enables any visitor to truly evaluate a publication as they move through every page before making a "buy" decision. Preview documents are automatically generated from the large library of Incentive Publications eBooks making it easy for IP to offer eBook previews to their customers. The previewed content cannot be printed, nor is it in a format to enable effective print screen printing; hence, proprietary content is protected.
Another unique feature is that IP customers can create their own virtual IP eBook library, and eBooks in the library can be downloaded at any time. Proprietary technology allows the company to maintain the library with little infrastructure overhead and low maintenance. Currently, IP has approximately 275 eBooks online, representing approximately 105,000 pages, and the company is continuing to add eBook publications.
For IP customers, the eBook delivery system is a perfect fit. Most of IP's publications are reproducible resources for teachers or parents, including homeschoolers. IP customers make photocopies of the various lesson plans, learning activities, and skill builders contained in their IP books for use in their own classroom (or home). Teachers or parents can now instantly choose the page(s) they want to print from their eBook library and select the number of copies needed. There's no need to rip pages out of a book, run to the copy room, and wait in line.
