LibreDigital to Deliver Digital Content Optimized for Sony Reading Devices

NEW YORK - (BUSINESS WIRE) - At the Digital Hollywood Media Summit, LibreDigital today announced that it is the provider powering the delivery of digital newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, The New Yorker and PC Magazine, on the SONY family of e-readers, via the Reader Daily Edition. The Reader Daily Edition gives consumers the ability to purchase a single paper or subscribe to their favorite publication and have it delivered wirelessly each day.

The LibreDigital patented technology is specifically designed to help publishers transform and deliver complex digital content across a variety of digital form factors, platforms and devices. With thumbnail displays to organize newspapers and magazines and the ability to quickly navigate to different sections of the publications, the Reader Daily Edition makes it simple for subscribers to organize and browse through their favorite periodicals with the high-quality display they love.

The Sony Reader was recently reviewed by Walt Mossberg of The Wall Street Journal in his Personal Technology column. In the column he applauded Sony's method for presenting newspapers, noting that the Sony Reader "...is also better at navigating digital newspapers, something I've never found satisfying on the Kindle."

"We're focused on helping publishers and device manufacturers deliver a rich and engaging experience for digital consumers," said Russell P. Reeder, president and CEO of LibreDigital, Inc. "With its new e-reader, Sony is offering one of the best on the market today, and we're happy to be a part of what makes this a superior choice for consumers."
