Amid surging demand and interest in ebooks, Baker & Taylor, a provider of digital media services to publishers, and LibreDigital , Inc., a developer of digital publishing solutions, announced an expanded agreement to partner for the delivery of ebooks-creating a one-stop, comprehensive suite of services for publishers. The pair's enhanced digital services platform spans all forms of digital media-books, newspapers, and magazines-and all digital devices and applications, including the Baker & Taylor-powered Blio e-reader software, developed by K-NFB Reading Technology, and Apple's iPad.

As part of the agreement, Baker & Taylor will offer its more than 30,000 publishing partners a full range of digital services from LibreDigital.
