Dymocks adds DNL and ePub formats to ebook roster

Your IT - Entertainment

Bookseller chain Dymocks has added to more ebook formats to its catalogue.


Dymocks has begun selling ebooks in the DNL and ePub formats.

The company already supported a variety of formats. Dymocks' web site offers more than 150,000 ebooks - nearly 141,000 of them in PDF form, plus more than 38,000 that are Mobipocket compatible.

The announcement adds almost 29,000 titles in ePub format and nearly 3200 in DNL format.

ePub is an open standard used by a variety of vendors. Supported platforms include Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Android, Windows Mobile, iPhone OS, BlackBerry, and Symbian.

Apple's recently released iPad supports ePub through the iBooks app.

ePub allows the use of DRM without specifying or mandating any particular scheme. Thus FairPlay-protected ePub books can only be read using Apple's iBooks, and those using Adobe Content Server require Adobe's reader.
