Posted: Jan 13, 2012 @ 2:13pm

NEW YORK – January 6, 2012 – Digital Book World today announced that 85 ebooks have been approved as QED-worthy. The QED, which stands for Quality, Excellence, Design, is a quality assurance program that was conducted on all ebooks entered into the Publishing Innovation Awards (PIAs), an awards program sponsored by Constellation honoring the most innovative ebooks, enhanced ebooks, and book apps in several categories.

Ebooks submitted for consideration of the QED seal underwent a thorough, professional 13-point design review with an eye towards readability across multiple devices and in multiple formats. The QED was judged on criteria established on the recommendation of the Publishing Innovation Awards advisory council, who are respected leaders in the digital production and design space. To view a list of the titles that have received the QED seal so far and the methodology for their review visit: http://bit.ly/qedseal

"We consider the QED the 'Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval™' for ebooks – a mark of quality that publishers, authors, and content creators can proudly bear to assure readers can buy with confidence," said David Blansfield, President, F+W Media, parent company to Digital Book World. “Ebook sales are growing dramatically and readers need to know what they’re buying will render well regardless of device – tablet, e-reader, smartphone or PC – before they buy. It’s really gratifying to see that so many publishers across a range of genres are producing ebooks of the highest quality now.”

QED recipients will be celebrated in New York on Monday evening, January 23rd, during the opening ceremonies for Digital Book World, during which the winners of the second annual Publishing Innovation Awards will be publicly announced. It is the mission of the PIAs to highlight excellent publishers/authors, encourage new thinking, and improve the reading experience in the digital age.
