Converting textbook to single digital edition for iPad

We are about to repurpose a medical textbook to a single digital edition. I'm looking for guidance in two areas before jumping in feet first...
Are there example of other textbooks converted using DPS that anyone can direct me to?
Are there any size limitations (i.e., number of articles, number of scrollable pages, amount of content, etc.)?
Thanks!

Thanks...that's interesting to know. We looked at the ePub, but the editors felt this book wouldn't work using that format. The book has a lot of "parts" and the print version is highly designed. We understand that there will be sacrifices moving to a digital edition, but we weren't willing to take the product down to an ePub design.

  • Adobe Digital Editions for IPad?

    I frequently review books for an online book digest. Publishers are increasingly distributing galley proofs digitally, most often using the Adobe Digital Editions app, which seems to be compatible with every kind of ebook reader....except the IPad. I haven't found an IPad version at the app store, and I don't have a Kindle or a Nook or any of those devices that read Adobe's DRM-protected files, and so am forced to non-portably read these galleys on my IMac. Anyone know if an IPad DE app is in the offing? Or failing that, a workaround? (I tried using Txtr, which claims it can read DE files. Not.)

    Incidentally, you do know that you can buy kindle or Nook apps for your ipad? I was assuming you wanted a DE-specific app.
    EDIT Actually, those apps are free--you just pay for what you buy through them, if that helps you any.
    Incidentally, O'Reilly, my publisher, uses PDF for real galley purposes, although they do create epub editions of their books for distribution. You might want to ask the publishers you work with if there's another format available.

  • Digital Editions for BlackBerry Playbook

    Hi,
    I tried to download Adobe Digital Editions for my playbook. But I later leaned that it's not compatible with Playbook.
    Can somebody please let me know other way to check out books from public digital library for playbook.

    There are two possible issues.  One is whether the file is in .epub or .pdf format, the other is whether it has DRM (Digital Rights Management) applied to it.
    It seems there are Blackberry apps for .epub files.
    http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/50823/?lang=en
    http://forums.crackberry.com/playbook-apps-games-f243/best-epub-reader-726698/   talks about some.  I don't know if the name crackberry means they are for a cracked Blackberry only.
    Both these threads talk about NON-DRM .epub files.
    There are lots of non-drm .epub files for download: including almost all classics that are out of copyright (try project Gutenberg).
    Most bought books and library books have DRM applied.
    I haven't seen anything that says you can read DRM books on the Blackberry.
    There are hints one might be coming.

    I would avoid converting to .pdf for reading if at all possible. 
    pdf format files don't flow to match your screen size and chosen font size, and are a pain for anything apart from their original application in printing.

  • What are the tools to create a digital magazine for ipad version and how can be place it in newsstand?

    Hello..
    "what are the tools to create a digital magazine for ipad version and how can be place it in newsstand?"
    I am very tired after done a week of R&D on this issue..
    But i doesn't get any fair solution for this one..
    I hope this is best option to place my issue here to get quick solution..
    Thanks and Regards..

    We are all users here.
    There is no one here from Apple.
    In order for you to develop and distribute content for the iPad, you need to become an apps developer.
    Not sure where you sign up for this or who you have to call.
    There should be a place on Apple's site that refers to a section of the site if you want to be an Apple iOS content developer.
    It cost, I believe $99 U.S. to become an Apple apps developer. You'll agree to Apple's Non-disclosure rules.  You'll receive Apple's app/software developers kit,and access to Apple's app developer site.
    No one here is going to be able to help you.
    Good Luck.

  • Is there an adobe digital edition for windows rt

    is there an adobe digital editions for windows RT

    Not as such.  However there are a few apps that will let you read DRM books.
    Check out in the reader store
    DL Reader: that one has worked best for me
    Overdrive: could be good for library books, sometimes stroppy about getting your Adobe ID registration working
    DReader: I couldn't get it to behave, but might be worth trying for you

  • Digital Editions for Mac Support for Sony eReaders

    With Sony releasing the eBook Library 3.0 Software for Mac and PC today and, therein, providing an official Sony eReader driver for Mac (sony_prs kernel extension found in the 3.0 software installer), will Adobe be able to provide support for the Sony eReaders in a future version of Adobe Digital Editions for Mac? As far as I understood, the limitation on the Mac version stemmed from the fact that Sony itself did not officially support the Mac but with that now in the past when can we expect to see this support added in Adobe Digital Editions for Mac?  Thank you!

    Believe what you read on the site.

  • Digital Editions for win and the ASUS ea800

    hiya,
    First things first: if you're someone inclined to point out that the ASUS ea800 does not appear on the supported devices page, you're a dolt and i would prefer that you didn't.
    Now, my query is of the general form: why doesn't Digital Editions for Windows recognise my device? What is the procedure for investigating this issue? Are there knowledge base articles/instructions for this, and if so, where do they live?
    Cheers,
    andrew p

    hiya,
    Thanks for the reply: i wasn't really expecting one after my use of the word "dolt;" it's just that the device doesn't appear on the 'compatible devices list,' but it is actived for DRM and by all accounts, it should work.
    To be sure, towards the end of this video (a review of the EA800 by Good Ereader i think; can hardly see a thing, but...)
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Sx8AYBAKFE
    the fellow does just that: the EA800 appears as a bookshelf in Digital Editions and content is managed flawlessly. In addition, the device he has is a pre-release version that ASUS sent him.
    cheers,

  • Unable to autorise the digital edition for Overdrive

    I am unable to authorize the digital edition for overdrive. I am using the same user id and password that of Overdrive account. I still get the error "Incorrect Login Id or password for the selected ebook vendor."
    How do I resolve the issue.

    We plan to remove this limitation in the free Personal Edition of Lumira before the end of this year.  In the meantime, as mentioned by Chris, you can initiate the 30 day trial option which you can activate from within the "Home" page of the Personal Edition of Lumira.
    Here's more info on accessing the 30 day trial of the Standard Edition:

  • Using a textbook on Adobe Digital Editions

    I recently bought a textbook (MCB 163: Developmental Genetics) on Adobe Digital Editions per the recommendation of my instructor. I am having an ENORMOUS amount of trouble because it is AGONIZINGLY slow and I need to speed it up in order to have a functional textbook! What can I do to make things go more smoothly?

    Are you reading it using Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) on a PC?
    That is not a very good bit of software, but is not usually too slow, there may be something odd about the book.
    You could try installing the Sony Reader software on the PC and seeing if that is any faster: I doubt it will be but worth a try.
    That software is intended for use in conjuction with Sony eReader devices, but can be installed and used on any PC.

  • Digital editions for IPOD Touch

    Does anyone know of any way to get adobe digital editions to work or transfer to an IPOD Touch

    YES !!
    This morning I just discovered the Bluefire reader app. It works well.  I would say you need to read the directions first, and have to go through Adobe id but it works great on my iPod 2nd Gen with OS 4.2. and iMac with OS 10.5 
    here's the link to the website, which will also link you to the App store.
    Bluefire Reader
    Be sure to read the directions. You will also need to know where  Adobe Digital Editions places the epub ebook file ( Digital Editions folder in the Documents folder)
    Hope this solves it.
    PS: I contacted iFlow Reader, another great reader app, and they also have solved the problem and have a revision waiting for apple to approve the update.  This one was recommended by Adobe, but it's not quite ready.  Both of these apps are free!
