Currently, despite the fact that digital content is becoming increasingly popular, there are not so many convenient ways to regularly receive such content (in particular, periodicals, including newspapers and magazines) for mobile devices. But Internet tablets, communicators with a large display and other devices are very easy to read. Back in July, Adobe was firmly engaged in developing software that could open a new era of digital content for mobile devices. The other day the developers' work was presented - complex software that allows you to go through the entire cycle of content transformation - from creation to distribution. The new Adobe Digital Publishing Suite is called.
First of all, this software package was created for publishers who can efficiently create and sell content to those who need it — that is, to us, consumers of the “numbers”. Indeed, many of us no longer use traditional newspapers and magazines, preferring electronic analogues. It is worth noting that the solution proposed by Adobe is not an offline set of programs, but a complex of web services that allow not only creating and distributing electronic publications, but also tracking the entire process. For example, this software allows you to monitor sales.
Distribution of digital content is becoming quite convenient - by creating it, you can distribute electronic publications through the Apple App Store, Android Market, Google Apps Marketplace, Blackberry App World, and other services. Adobe Digital Publishing Suite allows you to work together on documents for several employees. Publication of projects is possible in PDF and HTML. Unfortunately, despite the fact that the package has already been announced, it will be available only in the second quarter of next year.

There will be two new versions of software from Adobe: Professional and Enterprise. The cost of subscribing to the first version of the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite is $ 699 per month. In addition, you will have to pay a percentage of each sold publication - the percentage will be calculated depending on the number of items sold and circulation.
The second version of the service, Enterprise, is much more functional and designed for large companies. Adobe Digital Publishing Suite Enterprise offers its own API for integration with company sites. To get this version you need a multi-year contract with Adobe.
In general, the package is really interesting - perhaps in the next year a new era will begin, the era of digital newspapers and magazines that will not need to be searched for and which will flow immediately to the selected mobile device. I would like to hope so.
