Inkling
Inkling is an American company based in San Francisco, California. It produces a set of tools that businesses use to build, manage, and distribute digital content, which includes its cloud-based authoring environment, called Inkling Habitat. == History == Matt MacInnis, Josh Forman, and Robert Cromwell founded Inkling in August 2009. While working at Apple Inc., MacInnis heard rumors about a new device (which would later become the Apple iPad). Believing the device had potential to host interactive electronic textbooks, he left Apple to found the new company several months before the iPad was officially announced. MacInnis became the CEO, with Forman as the VP, Product and Cromwell as the VP, Engineering. In August 2010, the company launched its iPad app and announced partnerships with John Wiley & Sons, McGraw-Hill, and Wolters Kluwer. The company initially focused on creating interactive e-book versions of existing textbooks. In 2011, it added other types of general-interest non-fiction titles, such as travel guides and cookbooks. The company creates e-books in HTML5 and includes features not normally available in conventional e-books such as video, interactive animations, and the ability to share notes with other readers. In early 2014, Inkling pivoted from a business-to-consumer model to a business-to-business model by selling their authoring platform, Inkling Habitat, to publishers.〔http://www.fastcompany.com/3028090/bottom-line/what-happened-when-a-digital-textbook-company-was-forced-to-redefine-its-custome〕 Today, the majority of their revenue comes from licensing fees under the Software as a Service model. Both publishers and enterprises use Inkling’s cloud-based content creation tools. Inkling no longer produces e-books, but continues to sell its existing e-books through its online bookstore, publishers’ online stores, and the Apple App Store.
