DailyLit has started serializing Oxford University Press books via e-mail and RSS. Shown is one of the choices, What Everyone Needs to Know about Islam—96 installments for $4.95 starting with three free samples.
Given OUP’s stature within publishing, the deal is another sign that e-mail/RSS serialization idea is catching on. This is A Good Thing for busy nontechies who might not always be within WiFi hotspot distance. Or they may not want to mess with format conversions.
DailyLit has also announced a bunch of fresh features, such as the ability to spotlight new or especially active members of forums.
Another deal of interest: Arrangements between Tizra and the Association of American University Presses to provide discounts on the Tizra Publisher platform (intended to reduce the amount of tech savvy needed for e-publishing).
