Donnelley and Microsoft Team Up for "eBooks"
Under the terms of the agreement, Donnelley will continue to work closely with its publishing partners to convert print titles into eBooks that conform to the recently announced Open eBook (OEB) specification. Donnelley will store and manage these titles in electronic form and work with on-line retailers who will offer the eBook titles to consumers. Donnelley will license key technology tools from Microsoft, including digital rights management technology, for its initial eBook service offerings. Donnelley's system helps ensure that publishers can work with one partner to convert and manage content, as well as protect it, distribute it, and track and receive revenues from it. The system will be available to Donnelley's publishing customers by next spring, officials said.
