LEKTZ

Lektz is an eBook business platform developed by AEL Data, operating from UK and India. The solutions available in the Lektz platform include DRM, ebook reader applications, virtual book store, ebook conversion, elending, consumer analytics and digital marketing solutions for small, medium sized publishers and independent authors. Dr. M.S. Mohammed Sadiq, Sr. Vice President of AEL Data, is the chief architect of the Lektz platform and it draws support from AEL Data's ePublishing, digitizatio... n, accessibility solutions and application development services. The Lektz platform was launched as a SaaS based solution and as an on-premise solution using the publisher's infrastructure. This solution was presented as an ebook ecosystem at the London Book Fair 2013, by Dr.Sadiq and Lindsay MacLeod, Executive Director at AEL Data. Lektz eBook Reader is a reader application for Android, iOS devices and PC reader (web-based/Google Chrome Extension). It supports PDF, EPUB2 and EPUB3 ebook formats. The Lektz SaaS based solution is where publishers sign up and avail their own branded ebook stores, upload PDF and EPUB ebooks to it, encrypt them using Lektz DRM, configure their own payment gateway and start selling their ebooks on the Lektz platform. The on-premise solution is where the ebookstore, elending, DRM and payment gateway solutions are integrated to a publisher website. Lektz DRM is a proprietary eBook DRM technology of AEL Data. When publishers upload their ebooks in the Lektz platform, they can choose to enable DRM security for their ebooks which is decrypted when synced with the Lektz reader. The Lektz elending solution adds the online library functionality to a publisher's website where ebooks can be borrowed through a reader application for a periodic subscription. The ebook store is one of the major components of the Lektz ebook business solution. Publishers can set-up their own virtual ebook store in Lektz platform to upload and manage their ebooks and make it available for sales.More
