About three years ago, I was at a social event, chatting with the director of a fellow studio. His firm, like ours, specialises in WordPress. He asked if we were developing any products, as it was something they were quite keen on expanding.
“Absolutely not!” came my response. “We’ve tried it in the past and it’s an expensive and largely unprofitable experience. We’re sticking to services.”
So it might surprise him and various other people from that time to find out that we’ve recently launched a product!
Standfirst for Kindle – making e-ink publishing easier
Most publishers who distribute their editions to the Kindle e-ink product are struggling with clunky, closed platforms that offer little in the way of full feature support. Many are providing their users with a very basic experience. This is a large part of why uptake of Kindle e-ink editions has been limited.
Standfirst for Kindle fixes this. It provides a simple to use drag and drop interface, which enables a publisher to create a fully featured Kindle edition with less than an hour of work.
I’m immensely proud of what the team here has done, to turn what was once a rather clunky WordPress plugin into a simple to use and very reliable online service. Standfirst for Kindle is already powering the Kindle editions for The New Statesman and The Spectator. The latter has always used our software and consequently has excellent ratings.
