Bluefire Productions Helps Booksellers Worldwide Offer Branded E-Reading Applications With Integrated Mobile Storefronts
LONDON, Apr 16, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Bluefire Productions today announces at the 2012 London Book Fair,
several new worldwide customers leveraging the Bluefire platform to
license and deploy their own branded e-reading applications. The
recently updated Bluefire Reader is one of the top e-reading
applications for Apple(R) iOS and Android(TM) devices and is based on
the industry-standard Adobe(R) Digital Publishing Solution for
eBooks, giving brick-and-mortar booksellers, start-ups and publishers
the ability to offer a robust e-reading application and compete
effectively with the market leaders.
New retailers deploying Bluefire powered apps include Chapitre.com in
France, ciando GmbH in Germany, MediaCorp in Singapore, and Books.CH
in Switzerland. These companies join more than 25 other retailers and
publishers around the world who are releasing Bluefire powered mobile
reading and shopping apps on the iOS and Android platforms.
ciando GmbH, one of Germany's leading eBook wholesalers, was looking
to expand their customer base by offering mobile e-reading
applications. The natural partner for meeting their objectives
quickly and affordably was Bluefire. "Bluefire gave us the ability to
quick release a beautifully branded application with an integrated
access to the user's purchased eBooks, allowing us to extend our
services to our loyal customers while appealing to new readers at the
same time," said Norbert Hofherr of Munich-based ciando eBooks.
Bluefire is the leading provider of licensed, cross-platform
solutions in the mobile publishing arena, and offers the only
customizable, full-featured e-reading application on iOS and Android
tablets and phones. Recent updates to the platform include the
following new features:
-- Support for the new iPad(R) Retina display

-- Support for external hyperlinks in ePUB and PDF titles
-- Support for multiple Adobe IDs
-- New on-screen swipe for brightness control (iOS only)
-- Enhanced side-loading (iOS only)

"Compelling mobile devices like the new iPad continue to proliferate
and compelling market opportunities have continued to proliferate in
lockstep. Bluefire arms retailers and publishers with great tools to
compete with major online brands," said Micah Bowers, CEO of Bluefire
Productions LLC. "The growth opportunity for our customers is
endless, as they have been able to reach and sustain a new market of
readers while protecting their brand and existing customer base."
