Digital Island's Delivers Scott Adams' First Non-"Dilbert" E-Book
📅 - Digital Island, Inc. (digitalisland.com) today announced it has delivered several thousand digital copies of "Dilbert" creator Scott Adams' latest book, God's Debris, in the first week of publication.
Digital information delivery company, DigitalOwl, provided hosting and digital rights security for Adams' first e-book. DigitalOwl selected Digital Island's Footprint Content Delivery service to reduce its operations cost and to speed the download of God's Debris, available exclusively as an e-book at dilbert.com.
Footprint accelerates the download of DigitalOwl's free TitleVision application, which is required to read Adams' e-book. With TitleVision, end users securely view licensed or proprietary information with a variety of standard readers, including Internet Explorer, Adobe Acrobat, and PalmOS-based PDA devices. In all cases, content is secured and managed with DigitalOwl's robust digital rights management infrastructure.
Facing costly network expenses associated with delivering Scott Adams' e-book worldwide, DigitalOwl teamed with Digital Island to save on operational costs through a usage-based billing model that adapts to meet DigitalOwl's bandwidth needs. As a result, DigitalOwl estimates it is saving approximately 25 percent on content delivery costs. As demand for God's Debris increases, Digital Island's global content delivery network will easily scale, enabling DigitalOwl to generate profits from its e-business operation instead of spending more on delivery costs.
"Digital Island's content delivery service helps us transact profitable e-business in the digital publishing arena by providing our customers with a fast and secure online experience," said Kirstie Chadwick, CEO and president, DigitalOwl. "Digital Island's usage-based billing system guarantees that we only pay for content actually delivered to our customers. This was a major reason we chose Footprint, as it will make our e-business operations more profitable in this highly competitive marketplace."
Footprint speeds the delivery of content by moving copies of the e-book closer to the end user at the edge of the Internet. A typical e-book now takes only 28 seconds to download, a 10-fold performance improvement.
