- World's First Commercial EPUB 3 Viewer with Readium SDK to Be Adopted by BOOKWALKER eBook Store -
ACCESS CO., LTD., a global provider of advanced software technologies to the mobile, beyond-PC and digital TV markets, announced on October 29 PUBLUS (TM) Reader v2.0, an iOS-supported EPUB (R) 3 viewer incorporating bcゲーム 入金方法ium SDK from bcゲーム 入金方法ium Foundation, a consortium committed to establishing electronic publishing standards. Going forward, ACCESS plans to enhance the environment for next-generation rich-content viewing utilizing PUBLUS Reader v2.0 with bcゲーム 入金方法ium SDK.
Within this year, PUBLUS Reader v2.0 initially will be incorporated in the viewer provided by BOOKWALKER, an eBook store managed by BOOKWALKER CO., LTD. The store already incorporates PUBLUS (TM) Reader v1.0 (formerly called NetFront (TM) BookReader EPUB Edition), ACCESS' EPUB viewer app supporting both iOS and Android. BOOKWALKER now expects to strengthen scalability for future eBook store services with PUBLUS Reader v2.0, the world's first commercial EPUB 3 viewer to adopt bcゲーム 入金方法ium SDK, an EPUB 3 rendering engine optimized for native apps on tablets and other devices.
bcゲーム 入金方法 v2.0 achieves exceptionally broad compatibility with iBooks by using iOS' standard WebKit engine as its EPUB 3 engine. It is envisioned that publishers of EPUB 3 content will benefit from highly reduced validation costs, until now a heavy burden, thanks to bcゲーム 入金方法 v2.0.
"The commercial adoption of bcゲーム 入金方法ium SDK in ACCESS' new viewer is a groundbreaking step towards the global expansion of EPUB," said Bill McCoy, executive director of the International Digital Publishing Forum and president of bcゲーム 入金方法ium Foundation. "ACCESS' active development of Readium technologies as a member of bcゲーム 入金方法ium Foundation is helping to accelerate the global popularity of EPUB."
