More than half of publishers’ content is “digital waste”, as 65% of e-book publishers have converted less than half of their legacy titles, or their backlist, into e-books. As a result, the outsourcing potential for e-book production in the trade segment is still high.

While the writing is on the wall for any offset set up to incorporate digital technology and enhance overall productivity, it is most necessary to be able to do so correctly and effectively.

The Indian shop-floor needs a shake-up if we need to be competitive

28 Mar 2013 |  Ramu Ramanathan  |   Comment now
