DMC Worldwide Introduces New Content Platform and E-Readers
DMC Worldwide (DMCWW; www.dmcww.com) introduced COPIA (www.thecopia.com), an open platform that combines content, social networking, and ecommerce with an array of wireless e-readers. The COPIA platform is a hybrid solution for consumers to experience a completely new way to discover, enjoy, share, and purchase books, newspapers, magazines, and a wide variety of digital content. At the same time, it integrates a software application engine for OEM brands looking to deliver content across their digital devices including e-readers, notebooks, netbooks, tablets, and smartphones. The lineup of e-reader devices will include both monochrome e-paper-based touchscreens and advanced color devices designed for rich color content. The devices are designed to extend the collaborative COPIA experience to readers across all genres of content and meet the needs of channel partners including mass market, entertainment, K-12 education, as well as higher education. COPIA will begin its private, limited-invitation beta in January 2010. The public beta will launch in March 2010 and will offer more than 1 million titles. The e-readers will be available for purchase online in April 2010 and at retail stores by June 2010. Source: DMCWW
