RJI picks vendors for Digital Newsbooks

The Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute is making its Digital Newsbooks available through two new partner sites, the organization plans to announce at its Digital Publishing Alliance meeting.
RJI said the Newsbooks will be accessible through eReader Outfitters in Pleasanton, Calif., and MBS Direct in Columbia, Mo. The DPA begins its annual meeting tomorrow.
RJI launched its Newsbooks initiative last year. RJI produces the content free of charge for DPA members. The books are customized for downloading and easy reading on e-readers and other mobile display devices.
The New York Times has been selling Digital Newsbooks produced by RJI on its own Web site since fall 2008.
RJI said DPA members, hosting services and RJI will share revenues stemming from the sale of the Newsbooks.
