What We Do
OBS offers a wide range of both print and e-publishing services, tailored to your content and your budget. This year, we partnered with a leading technology firm to add a customized digital storefront to our offerings. The Starter Edition is now available with NO up-front setup cost, and allows you to:
• Integrate eBook production into your existing production workflows
• Gain rapid entry to the market for up to 100 titles, with no up-front setup cost
• Maintain complete control of your content by selling directly to your customers
• Create additional income streams from digital sales
• Build relationships with your e-customers through detailed reporting
Or, you can have your own eBookstore that is flexible and customizeable to your content, audience and budget. Beyond the above capabilities, we also offer such additional features as institutional subscriptions and mobile applications. Once the storefront is up and running, we at OBS can either run it for you, providing detailed sales and customer reports, or we can train your staff to maintain, update, and run your eBookstore independently.
Active in the publishing industry since 1982, OBS excels at and values traditional publishing skills and services – from editing and translation/localization to composition, design, and print production. At the same time, we have extensive experience integrating traditional publishing files and workflows with the latest digital publishing technologies -- call on us to help expand the reach of your publishing program.
