Publishers Weekly and Aptara are teaming up for the “4th Annual eBook Production Survey,” designed to document the evolving impact of digital media on traditional content publishing and production. First conducted in 2009, the survey gathers information from publishers in all market segments to find behind-the-scenes insight into the real impact of e-books on publishers’ operations and to distill the trends, challenges, and strategies resulting from publishers’ drive to meet readers’ demand for mobile content.
“The annual eBook Production Survey is an important tool for gauging how the industry is changing,” said Cevin Bryerman, publisher of Publishers Weekly. “We urge as many publishers as possible to participate to help document this unprecedented time in publishing history.”
“The intelligence gathered by the survey is an advantage to any publisher looking to capitalize on this market’s incredible potential,” said Dev Ganesan, president and CEO of Aptara. “It uncovers the reality of publishers’ transition from print to digital, including specifics on how e-books are produced and which devices and sales channels are the most lucrative.”
All publishers are invited to contribute to the anonymous, multiple-choice survey. To be included, responses to the survey must be received by Monday, May 7. Click here to take the survey.
