eBound Canada offers digital solutions to Canadian publishers

After several months of behind-the-scenes preparations, the digital arm of the Association of Canadian Publishers, now known as eBound Canada, has formed as a separate entity. The new not-for-profit organization, formerly known as Canadian Publishers Digital Services, was officially incorporated last week, coinciding with the launch of a new website. eBound's mandate is to explore all aspects of digital publishing, focusing on four areas: e-book conversion, retail distribution, digital asset management, and research and education. The organization acts as an intermediary between Canadian publishers and global e-book retailers such as Kobo, Apple, and Barnes & Noble. It has also negotiated a deal on behalf of publishers with CoreSource, Ingram’s digital-asset management solution
