Tizra's Mobile Publishing Software Helps You Tap the Fast-Growing Mobile Audience with Responsive Templates

By
We are happy to report that Tizra’s mobile publishing software now offers responsive design templates for publishers who want to get started quickly with a standardized site design, yet also want to support the wide variety of devices their audience is using to search for, purchase, and consume content.

 Combined with the mobile reading interfaces which Tizra has had in place for more than a year, the new templates enable publishers to create a fully mobile optimized user experience with no design customization.
Why Is This Important?


In the three short years since tablets first came on the market in 2010 with the introduction of the first-generation iPad, their popularity has grown to the point that now one third of American adults now own a tablet computer (Pew Research.) During the same time, we have seen the introduction of scores of smartphones, with smartphone penetration surpassing 59 percent, with 141 million U.S. owned smartphones (comScore.)

Tablet ownership chart

According to research presented by Goodreads at O’Reilly’s Tools of Change conference earlier this year, 37 percent of those smartphone owners surveyed read on their device, while 86 percent of tablet owners read on their device. With all this content being consumed over so many devices, how is a publisher to keep up with all the devices, operating systems, and screen sizes?

The answer is mobile responsive design.  With responsive websites, the layout and content adapts automatically based on the size of the screen it is being viewed on, including desktops, laptops, tablets and smartphones. By adapting both the layout and what content is shown, depending on the device, publishers are able to provide their audience with a better user experience.

Tizra’s Mobile Responsive Design Templates

Tizra Publisher now offers website templates that utilize mobile responsive design to deliver a great user experience across a wide range of devices.  These templates have been extensively cross-platform tested to ensure a superb user experience.  Each template contains all the components necessary to create a complete publication website.  Using Tizra’s mobile responsive design templates essentially future-proofs your site against the continuously changing technology landscape of new devices, operating systems, and formats -- allowing you to focus on your core competency, your content.

At Tizra, we are committed to helping publishers go digital faster, and with greater control over your brand, audience and content.  Mobile responsive design is one critical checkbox on the list of features that make the Tizra platform the choice of leading publishers.

The importance of XML is real, but practicality of PDF gets short shrift

By
Publisher's weekly seems to have missed a key part of my message during Rebecca's and my backlist tutorial, which is that the long-term term payoff of XML is sufficiently expensive and disruptive that it can't happen quickly for publishers with significantly smaller resources than Thomson's, and that image based solutions like PDF can meet a lot of needs very quickly, for publishers that don't want to postpone full entry into online markets another 2-5 years. The Adobe announcements (especially integration of new e-book formats into print-oriented production tools) seems to present a more practical way for smaller publishers to change their workflows than the "big-bang" conversion project. But that kind of incremental strategy leaves existing PDF and image backlists just the way they are, and means that PDF will be a key part of all solutions for online marketing and product definition for the foreseeable future. Sometimes the future's so bright tha...

Tizra Upgrade Provides a Crisper, More Interactive E-Reading Experience

By
In the print world, when you think about a reader’s user experience, you consider factors like the size and weight of a book, paper quality, typeface, layout and design.  Moving to digital, some of these factors still hold true, but others are replaced with concerns such as speed, intuitive controls, cross-platform compatibility, plus as with any human interface, a host of intangibles.  We’re always working to make the Tizra reading experience crisper, easier, and less distracting, because happier readers mean happier publishers. Tizra reader upgrade makes it easy to enhance content with interactive lightbox effects. The update builds on Tizra’s ability to provide usability and compatibility across all the most popular web browsers and viewing devices, and is now available to all Tizra customers. Enhancements include:   Speed -- e-reading should be as crisp, fast and simple as turning a page. Your readers are not going to tolerate delays waiting for cont...
