What IS SharedBook?
Headquartered in New York with R&D in Herzlia, Israel, SharedBook enables companies and consumers to dynamically produce personalized and customized books and documents with its patented publishing and annotation platform. SharedBook's browser-enabled technology is used by:
- major publishers to create personalized editions of new and classic books
- online content providers to deliver added value and new revenue by repurposing existing assets into books
- consumers to save, edit, and publish works from blogs and documents
- government and public policy groups to provide open review and debate on documents and to retain a subsequent permanent record of such discussion
Our core application was brought to market in late 2005. Due to the extraordinary flexibility of the core application, our business encompasses three related yet distinct product lines.
Publishing
SharedBook specializes in integrating and publishing data from a variety of sources through its own proprietary creation tools.
Personalized Books
Our trade publishing partners use SharedBook to provide consumers with the opportunity to make their favorite books even more special through the addition of personalized pages. These editions maintain the artistic and creative integrity of the original while creating a new version -- a one-of-a-kind treasure. The Golden Books classic Poky Little Puppy is a best-selling example, allowing users to include a personal dedication and photograph. SharedBook also retails its partners' personalized books under the Inscribe-it brand (www.inscribe-it.com).
Customized Books
SharedBook's customization capabilities allow users to select from chunks of content to create their own books. SharedBook's Smart Button™ technology enables the assembly of a book in minutes by simply clicking a button on each Web page. Custom Publishing partners include Legacy Memorial Websites www.memorialwebsites.legacy.com, SOHO Publishing (www.vogueknitting.com) and Encyclopaedia Britannica.
Online and Digital Content
SharedBook's Reverse Publishing capability allows users to select the Web content they would like to keep in permanent form; they can capture and assemble it in a book with just a few clicks. The book can be purchased as is, or additional photos and text can be added for further personalization. As an example, see Blog2Print, SharedBook's blog printing platform (www.blog2print.com).
Documents
Policy makers, nonprofits, educators, and special-interest communities can use SharedBook's platform to allow their members or constituents to engage in an online dialogue on bills, rules, research and other important documents. Starting with highlighted excerpts from the original content, a series of comments and replies can be posted and shared with any and all interested users to facilitate a pointed and detailed discussion. The source document is locked down and the community discussion is stored and presented back as footnotes at a granular level. When combined with our patented publishing process, a permanent record of the conversation can be preserved as a professionally printed book or PDF download. (See www.OurEnergyPolicy.org or www.gbs.sharedbook.com, as examples.)
Core to SharedBook's technology platform is the ability to integrate complex structured data from various Web and intranet sources into a shared space, where it can be published in various forms both online and offline. Customized and personalized books can be created and displayed as flipbooks on the Web, downloaded as PDFs, or professionally printed. When users desire this content in physical form, it is provided via our seamless integration with high-end, digital printers from Xerox, Kodak, and HP to provide a completely customizable final product.
