With new technologies emerging all around us, many publishers are struggling with the question of which technologies to embrace to stay relevant today. Relevance is certainly crucial to growth and survival but so is profitability – it’s important that you make the right decisions based on specific business goals and adapt as readers habits evolve. Hear from VitalSource COO Kent Freeman at Tools of Change 2012, who shares key lessons and insight from the helm of Ingram’s fastest-growing business – lessons that are helping publishers re-invent content and create richer reading experiences that are in demand today.

Last June, Ingram Content Group announced that VitalSource has grown its e-textbook offering with the acquisition of VPG Integrated Media (VPG), a leading developer of award-winning enhanced e-textbook applications, interactive learning objects and e-whiteboard content, and state-of-the-art video, audio, and animation production services for educational publishers.​

Bookshelf users are now ​able to access their content on Android-powered mobile devices. Previously accesible via Apple's iPad, iPhone and iPad, the Android app opens Bookshelf to devices including the Samsung Galaxy Tab, the Kindle Fire and hundreds of smartphones.
