The Spectator

The Challenge

The Spectator required a system for the fast and timely production of Kindle e-ink editions. An essential requirement was flexible, easy to use software to pass Amazon’s strict validation requirements.

The Solution

Implementation of Standfirst for Kindle. Our software pulls in syndicated content straight from The Spectator’s own CMS. Content is automatically placed into sections, producing a valid output for Amazon’s Kindle to distribute copy into the hands of Kindle users.
