Such a user will also pass on the
information within and without his organization. This is
called media exposure. The future will, no doubt, will be

Jamaican Overdrive - LDC's and LCD's
By: Sam Vaknin
OverDrive - an e-commerce, software conversion and e-
publishing applications leader - has just expanded an e-book
technology centre by adding 200 e-book editors. This happened
in Montego Bay, Jamaica - one of the less privileged spots on
earth. The centre now provides a vertical e-publishing service
- from manuscript editing to conversion to Quark (for POD),
Adobe, and MS Reader ebook formats. Thus, it is not confined
to the classic sweatshop cum production centre so common in
Less Developed Countries (LDC's). It is a full fledged
operation with access to cutting edge technology.
The Jamaican OverDrive is the harbinger of things to come and
the outcome of a confluence of a few trends.
