Talking Digital Magazines? Check out Ceros...

And no, I don't work for the company, I just think their solution is superb. Easier to read and engage with than the Olive solution, imho.

I think they have something like 200 titles already using their platform, mostly UK based titles I think (but I might be wrong).

Here's one to check out - http://dennis.cerosmedia.com/1G4730392e44836012.cde

Digital editions. The best? Got to be YUDU

There are now some good companies with Digital Edition software. The best in my opinion is from YUDU.com. Not only is it a great reading experience but they have jumped on the SaaS bandwagon and enable production to be done just with a login. It is pretty new but have done 2500 publications since March. Worth checking out!

Have you seen Zinio yet...?

Zinio's quite amazing and reproduces magazines flawlessly, with a full "feel" of flipping through one effortlessly. You ought to see what they do with SAVEUR magazine and Caribbean Travel & Life! Not to mention U.S. News & World Report. ZINIO is a class act.

Check out Texterity

I've been a subscriber to Game Developer Magazine and Make digital editions for a while. Both are done by Texterity (www.texterity.com). I like the fact that it's all done with javascript and xml, no flash necessary. Also, they have made magazines available on the iPhone, which Olive can't do because of the lack of flash support (for now).

Olive does Mobile

Please see http://mobile.olivesoftware.com.

Not only does Olive do mobile, but offer it for Blackberry as well, in both text mode and page/image mode so you can access the content quickly regardless of network bandwidth constraints.

There is no prerequisite for Flash, it is all simple HTML. We can create web apps powered by our XML technology to re-purpose content for any device.

Adobe/Scene7 might be a good fit

I've used Scene7 in the past for eCatalog work and their advancing technology, combined with the financial backing of Adobe (who acquired them in spring 2007), might be a good play for online mags and newspapers. They cater mainly to the retail cataloging crowd like Lands' End, Crate and Barrel and Williams-Sonoma, but they are a leader in the print-to-digital conversion field in my experience.

Paperless newspapers are eco friendly. Check this for world wide online news papers http://www.pressmart.net

[Web-CRM]

Interestingly we have 2 magazines who use our <a href="http://www.WORKetc.com">Web CRM
</a> application, and neither is interested in producing online. Everyone is still focused on print magazines and print ad revenue.
