GizmoCrunch writes: The Google eBook ecosystem will be accessible to smartphones, tablets, PCs and even web browsers, leaving it open to the majority of the public unlike other alternative such as Amazon store’s eBooks which mainly run on the Amazon Kindle only.

The truth is actually the reverse. Amazon’s Kindle apps run on iPhones, iPads, Android phones and pads, PCs, Macs and other smart phones. Amazon’s advantage is that their technology is based on HTML and so reflows naturally on all platforms while Google’s PDF based technology deals poorly with reflow and so tends to require pan and scan reading on smaller devices.

In spite of using PDF for storage, Google Books runs inside browsers and so is supported on a few platforms that Amazon has not bothered to write Kindle apps for, like Linux desktops.

If Google had gone for EPUB instead they could have claimed the high ground on platform coverage, but as it is there is a difference between being able to read a book on a platform and being able to read a book comfortably on that platform.

Gartner has predicted that tablets will outsell PCs in 2011. As a Knowledge Process Outsource (KPO) provider and iPad developer, Telegenisys expects to leverage tablets both inside and outside of our client offices.

Tablets (and smaller devices such as smart phones and pods) can be carried around a work site, such as by a nurse in a hospital. These mobile intranet and VPN access devices will require business specific apps and back office knowledge workers to offload clerical process so that the client’s mobile workforce can remain focused on their primary tasks.

Tablets in the hands of the general public and client customers will also require apps in order to connect into client processes and through these to remote knowledge workers.

The increased sales of tablet devices will enlarge the pool of both employees and customers who both expect app delivered access and are increasingly skilled at using such apps.

Nishant Verma, vice president at Bangalore outsourcing firm Tholons Inc., says U.S. hospitals still haven’t crossed an “emotional barrier” when it comes to sending tech work overseas. “Though it is never said overtly, it is much harder for Indian suppliers to get these kinds of contracts than their American counterparts,” he says.

Which is why a company like Telegenisys offers the security of an American partner with the cost effectiveness of Indian staffing.

The New York Observer writes that Electric Publisher is offering a new alternative for e-book publishing. That is the e-book as a stand alone app.

This is of course not all that new as e-books as applications were offered long ago in the age of floppy disks.

Vendors have now begun offering on-demand procurement tools, which do not involve software for purchase but are accessible via a secured web link. On-demand offerings thus involve low cost of ownership, fast start-up/implementation, and generally quick ROI, the report states.

Telegenisys has been using secure web portals since the nineties. The LAMP technology lets us quickly put together systems where our agents and clients can coordinate in real time. In the past few years we’ve added telephony integration so that the agent has a single login to gather and update information that also keeps track of the calls they’ve made for the project.
