On a fee for service basis, publishers and publishing organizations are now able to contract with Legible Publishing Services to access the Company’s conversion services for their entire eBook catalogues across multiple languages. The end-product delivered will be beautiful digital book assets which are optimized for accessibility to the billion-strong reading disabilities market. By offering this service, over and above being an eBook Entertainment company, Legible has also become a production house delivering video, animation and augmented reality (AR) for Web 3.0 multi-media integrated and immersive eBooks, which are the future of digital publishing.

In publishing, "Born-accessible" refers to building an eBook that is also fully accessible to the reading disabled community which globally represents over a billion people (not including people associated with the community), rather than only remediating and updating eBooks post-production to make them accessible. Born-accessible content is designed to meet the needs of all readers and helps eBook purchasers to procure content that works for them – no matter their ability level.

Publishers and authors still face considerable challenges both in converting their backlist of book catalogues to the eBook format in general, and in making them accessible to all people with reading disabilities. Legible is already working with large publishers and high-profile authors who do not yet have their catalogues of book titles prepared for digital distribution, and who do not have the in-house expertise, or production team, to offer their titles as media-rich, immersive and fully accessible ebooks.

“Legible’s reading system is capable of showcasing book content for the Web 3.0,” stated Kaleeg Hainsworth, CEO and President of Legible, “and Legible Publishing Services is creating the born-accessible, compelling, immersive, and original content for that reading system. A world-class eBook conversion service will not only generate significant top-line revenue but also immediate cash flow. Legible.com currently has 14,000 platform users with over 10,000 new users having signed up since January 1st. Awareness and conversion marketing campaigns are currently underway, and the addition of our unique publishing services will accelerate our ability to scale our growth on Legible.com.”

Legible is proud to have already secured contracts with three of the top five global publishing houses and hundreds of publishers internationally so that our users will have access to over a million titles. Legible is currently ramping up its marketing and sales efforts, and as previously news released will be presenting on the future of digital publishing at the upcoming 2022 London Book Fair taking place April 5th-7th. “Accessible, shareable, delightful, and made by book lovers for book lovers, Legible is transforming the publishing and reading experience, and now transforming the publishing services industry as well,” added Hainsworth.

Legible will be releasing these next-generation, mobile-inclusive books by well-known authors, publishers, and global organizations in the coming weeks and months.
