KiwiTech is a mobile app services firm and was established in January 2009 in Washington DC by the founders of Aptara (formerly TechBooks).
We are now starting up our offices in Noida (Sector 4) and are working with a variety of European clients, including Spanish publishers. Our services include developing mobile (iPhone) apps for our clients.”
KiwiTech develops cutting edge e-book readers for various mobile platforms. We have two distinct e-readers, the existing “Classique Reader” and the upcoming “Quantum Reader”.
“The Quantum Reader will change the way people read books by making the experience more enjoyable and convenient for them,” said Anita Gupta, President of KiwiTech. “Also, Quantum single book apps are discoverable on the iPhone plus allow the ability for publishers to enhance their content with multimedia elements.”
KiwiTech also announced that it collaborated with publisher W.W. Norton & Company to release “The Blind Side” as Quantum’s first customized single ebook application.
Gupta said Quantum represents a critical innovation for KiwiTech, because it uses the ePub format to display text on smartphones.
Quantum allows users to:
- Use a skimming feature to skip to a specific page number within an ebook
- Adjust the font size to customize the reading experience
- Annotate the text
- Use multiple bookmarks within an ebook
- Search for words or phrases
- Use a backlit feature to enable better visibility for night reading
The firm collaborates with content providers to distribute premium content for three markets — consumers, associations, and schools – on various smartphone platforms. KiwiTech also works with industry leaders to provide app development services. KiwiTech currently has over 80 apps now available on different platforms (including the iPhone™ and BlackBerry Storm™) and has top 20 apps in several countries and in different languages.
