Abstract

Voyager Japan, Inc., is a digital publishing company. In 1993, we released a digital publishing tool called "Expanded Book." In 2000, we released a proprietary e-book format, "dotBook" (.book) .Since 2011, we have been using EPUB, a popular open standard for e-books, instead of our own dotBook because of EPUB's popularity. We developed a browser-based EPUB reader, "BinB," and a web-based digital publishing service, "Romancer." Romancer is a sub-compact digital publishing platform developed by the author. Romancer enables anyone to convert a Microsoft Word Document to a reflowable EPUB format, and from a PDF or sequence of images to a fixed-layout EPUB. Currently, users are free to download and sell converted e-books, or to publish them using Voyager's BinB system. We also publish paper and digital books, including original titles by Voyager. In this article, I examine digital publishing cases from production to sales, using the Romancer platform.
