Results
Publishers continue to embrace digital book production and this trend will grow over the coming years. The advantages of digital production include keeping titles in print while meeting the reduced quantity requirements of titles as they get older.
In addition, publishers can test new markets and titles while introducing specialized titles within limited markets. The results, publishers have increased inventory management and more available capital for other applications. It will be these efficiencies of production and greater financial control that will help the digital short-run market grow.
In addition, the utilization of custom text and custom covers may open whole new markets and micro markets for publishers in corporate and educational applications. The servicing of niche and specialty markets, which was previously viewed as unprofitable, will now grow.
