E-Books

An ePub eBook is a digital version of a print book that has been optimized for on-screen reading. EPUB (short for electronic publication) is a free and open e-book standard by the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF). The text in an ePub eBook is re-flowable, which means that you can change the font, resize the text, or alter the size of your display, and the text will rewrap itself to fit the available viewing area. EPub eBooks also support embedded content, allowing, for instance, a video to be embedded within an eBook.

HTML 5 Enhancements

HTML5 is taking off in the publishing world with the growing popularity of the iPad and tablet reading devices. NPS offers services in the HTML5 working standard, which offers the only cross-platform, cross-device solution for eBook apps. To avoid developing multiple versions of each app, and for greater independence from hardware- and software-makers, publishers are increasingly choosing HTML5 rather than the closed native software of specific devices and platforms.
