Texterity announces the signing of GiantChair.com, a digital distributor providing transparent distribution of eBooks and print-on-demand to independent trade publishers. Under the agreement, GiantChair.com will convert customer's titles from PDF format into eBooks and XML using Texterity's automated TextCafe service.

"From a technical standpoint, TextCafe is an achievement: the first automated and commercially available PDF-to-XML conversion service. But what's the compelling business advantage? Quality, time and price are the three vectors of data conversion, and Texterity believes TextCafe gives it an edge over offshore keyboarding in both time and quality. In short, if you need your e-books sooner than later, TextCafe is now open for customers."
