Follett Digital Resources, the premier provider of digital solutions to help publishers and educators meet the needs of 21st century learners, today announced the availability of its new digital reader for downloading and installation. The Follett Digital Reader is software that introduces additional functionality for eBooks, and meets the specific needs of K-12 and public libraries. This format change places no additional cost on Follett’s publishing partners. In fact, Follett will continue to accept the file formats publishers have previously sent.
Beginning today, customers can visit www.follettebooks.com/readersupport to download and install the new digital reader on all computers on their networks that are able to access eBook content from Follett. On March 2, existing eBook collections will be switched to the new format. The new Follett Digital Reader will replace the Adobe .pdf technology that K-12 library customers previously used to download and read a Follett eBook. The online viewer for Follett eBooks is not affected by this transition in any way.
Steve Siegel, Follett Vice President of eContent Markets, said the new eBook reader was developed out of a desire to provide a more enjoyable eBook experience for K-12 and public library patrons, and to ensure Follett has the flexibility to offer other customer-demanded solutions in the future without relying on 3rd party technology partners.
“The new format allows us to maintain a very high level of integrity with regard to pictures, graphics, and color - which is particularly useful for picture books,” Siegel said. “This is what our library customers were telling us they needed. And we’ve made sure that we will have the flexibility to adapt our eBook delivery platform to the future demands of publishers as well.”
Thanks for the post! Useful information. I have not followed development of Follett Digital Reader for some months, but now its time to review the update.

In my opinion, most certifications (i.e. Microsoft, A+, etc.) are useless pieces of paper that, at most, show somebody spent some time scanning through books or sample tests and can regurgitate answers to questions that might appear on a "certification" exam.
Hands-on industry experience is far more valuable and useful in the real world. It proves (1) that you indeed possess sufficient knowledge of a given topic/technology, and, (2) if you are confronted with a problem or situation in which you lack expertise, you are resourceful enough to obtain (whether it be via colleagues, reading manuals, conducting web research, calling vendor support, etc.) the information necessary to arrive at an effective solution.

Certainly, there is an excellent debate coming on the virtues of eBook readers vs. the ubiquitous netbook.

It has a simple, yet extremely functional user interface. Readers are able to easily navigate throughout the book, make notes, and set bookmarks.

I have been to the various sites that Folletts use to distribute their eBooks, to see if I could find out about the eReader they use. In fact their eBooks are not intended to be read on an eReader, but with a computer.
