New Zealand has an opportunity to gain from the changes sweeping the publishing world as a result of digitisation. Digital Publishing New Zealand has been formed to help make this potential a reality. It will give our publishers and authors access to a world class digital asset management and distribution system and open up channels to readers worldwide. The storage and distribution systems will be available to traditional publishers as well as self-publishing authors of New Zealand content. This service is a key part of achieving our vision that by 2013 New Zealand digital books are being read throughout the world.
