Fresh Meadows, NY: Data Conversion Laboratory, Inc. (DCL) recently completed eBook projects for Information Today, Inc.© and Plexus Publishing, Inc. DCL provides conversion services and software to publishers, information aggregators, industry, government, libraries, and documentation developers. DCL was selected for its expertise in conversions to eBook formats such as EPUB and MOBI.

For Information Today and Plexus, the eBook conversion project was a new experience and was driven in part by the desire to release the eBook format of a New York Times bestseller — Boardwalk Empire: The Birth, High Times, and Corruption of Atlantic City — in time to coincide with a series it inspired that was produced for HBO by Martin Scorsese and Terence Winter.

John B Bryans, Editor-in-Chief and Publisher at Information Today and Plexus Publishing, said: "This endeavor allowed us to create 20 key titles in various eBook formats. DCL made it possible for us to get into eBook publishing without increasing staff or asking our current team to take on additional responsibilities." Bryans added, "Like other small and medium-sized publishers, we knew we needed to get into the eBook market, and we feel that this has been a real, creidble step. DCL made it hassle-free and offered amazing support. We are excited about the future of electronic publishing and are glad that Unlimited Priorities Corporation© introduced us to DCL."

Mark Gross, DCL President and CEO, commented: "We were happy to hear that Information Today and Plexus are seeing an uptick in sales as a result of their foray into eBooks. It was a pleasure working with these publishers, helping them to understand the process necessary to handle the complexities between publishing to a paper format versus an electronic format."
