Datalogics Announces DL Reader, A Customizable eBook App For Smartphones And Handheld Devices
Chicago-based Datalogics recently announced the availability of DL Reader, a customizable eBook app for iOS and Android. Ebook publishers and content providers can use DL Reader to build a branded EPUB and PDF viewer tied to their eBookstore. The look-and-feel of the app can be tailored to fit corporate branding guidelines without any programming effort.
DL Reader is based on Adobe Reader Mobile SDK technology from Adobe Systems - features include:
- Viewing of both EPUB and PDF files
- Fully compatible with Adobe Content Server
- Supports Adobe's DRM, including device-restricted and time-limited eBooks
- Automatically reorients display as the device is rotated (orientation can be locked by the user)
- Includes "Store" button to transfer user to a specific bookstore URL (Android only)
- User interface supports 11 languages: Chinese (simplified), Chinese (traditional), Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brazilian), and Spanish; support for additional languages can be added
DL Reader was developed in response to demand from recent Adobe Content Server (ACS) customers who wanted to deploy a custom eReader app to reflect their brand identity and connect to their bookstores. Developing a custom eReader app from the ground up can take months, and requires technical resources familiar with developing mobile apps. DL Reader provides an easy way to get a branded reader into the market quickly, and requires no programming. For many ACS customers, this is all they need.
Customers looking to deploy a more fully-customized eReader app may want to consider Adobe Reader Mobile SDK (RMSDK) instead (also available from Datalogics). RMSDK is a lower-level programming toolkit which enables software developers to support EPUB and PDF within their own applications. To assist with this development effort and to greatly reduce time to market, source code for DL Reader is available to customers licensing RMSDK from Datalogics.
DL Reader is currently available on iOS, and evaluation versions can be downloaded at www.datalogics.com. Android is coming soon; and other additional platforms will be released based on customer feedback.
