Thursday 19. March 2009 - Best Selling Titles to Be Available to Attendees via MPS Mobile and Digital Platforms

Since the Gutenberg Bible, Christian publishing has been on the forefront of publishing technology. Now, industry leader Macmillan Publishing Solutions (MPS), a global provider of high-quality publishing related solutions, and its mobile division, MPS Mobile’s Global Reader, are working with leading Christian publisher Thomas Nelson to demonstrate distribution of their products worldwide via mobile and digital devices.
The company will showcase these future solutions for Christian publishing at the Christian Book Expo (CBE) being held at the Dallas Convention Center March 19 – 22. Demos of four Thomas Nelson titles: “Cast of Characters” by Max Lucado; “Lonestar Sanctuary,” by Colleen Coble — the first book in a Texas-themed fiction series; and two business titles — “Collapse of Distinction” by Scott McKain and “I’ll Make You An Offer You Can’t Refuse” by Michael Franzese will be made available free to attendees.
To access the free content, CBE attendees will sign up at the Macmillan Publishing Solutions booth #1013, complete a brief survey, and receive vouchers to access the available titles via computer or activate them from any internet enabled mobile phone.
In commenting, Macmillan Publishing Solution’s Director of Sales Bob Kasher stated: “We are thrilled to join with Thomas Nelson to demonstrate the potential for worldwide distribution via digital and mobile devices to the Christian market. This market has long been known to be ahead of the curve technologically with distributing their content and we look forward to working with Christian publishers worldwide to showcase the opportunities available for the future.”
