Curation for the Sovereign Author.
The Problem:
Stop being a Vendor. Start being a Sovereign. Standard ebooks are designed for the retailer's constraints, not your vision. 70% of ebook readers, read on tablets or phones. But the retailers files are made for hardware built in 2010. Eris Digital Media builds the high-fidelity architecture that restores your brand and your margins.
The Solution:
Digital isn’t a format; it’s an experience. We specialize in High-Fidelity ePub3 manufacturing. The Physical Special Edition publishing industry is valued at 1.2 Billion dollars, and expected to grow 15-20% year over year. We bring that same feel to the digital book market by integrating artifacts, interactive elements, and bespoke design into a file that you own and sell directly to your readers.
Series 1 Value and Strategy:
