Rosetta
Solutions .epub Files Now Available
Seattle, WA,
January 2, 2007 – Rosetta
Solutions, Inc., a leading global publishing services company, today announced
full compliance with the International Digital Publishing Forum’s (IDPF) .epub
format standard for digital books. Using .epub allows publishers to produce and
send a single file through distribution and offers consumers interoperability
between software/hardware for digital books.
Using Rosetta
Solutions’ patent pending RosettaMachine technology, publishers can convert a
single master file to multiple digital and print-ready formats accompanied by
industry-standard metadata.
“Rosetta Solutions
is a long-time and active supporter of the standards process for digital
content,” remarked Ted Treanor, CEO of Rosetta Solutions, Inc. “We felt it was
critical to fully implement this standard as quickly as possible, and are
delighted to deliver to our customers OPS/OCF-compliant files converted by
RosettaMachine for mobile devices, reading platforms or reading devices.”
Ted went on to
say, “The IDPF leadership organization and its dedicated members provide a
tremendous service to the marketplace by improving the customer experience and
furthering the adoption of digital content. While print is formidable, the trend
is digital. We see a rapid adoption of the new standards occurring over the next
12 months.”
Michael
Smith, executive director of IDPF, added, “This
standard will help to move content more quickly through
sales and distribution channels and enhance interoperability for readers.
We welcome Rosetta Solutions to the list of other key players who have adopted
the .epub standard.”
Many
solutions providers have implemented or announced implementation plans for
.epub, including Adobe, Sony Reader, eBook Technologies, Mobipocket, OSoft and
Vitalsource Technologies. The
file extension ".epub" refers to two open standards, the
Open Publication Structure (OPS) and
Open Container Format (OCF), produced by the
IDPF.
