One stop shop to new publishing platforms

Progressive Publishing System (PPS) API

The API gives easy access to the new electronic book publishing platforms (POD, eBooks, iPhone, iPads/tablets, mobiles and Apps) and associated revenues. Currently most of the platforms are off limits due to conversion costs.

A starting place for the project is to have publishers apply Dublin Core classifications and XML markup of their content, within their existing CMS. Lastly to connect to Amazon Pro Merchant accounts to sell publications.

Still looking for that micro payment heaven

PayPal's http://x.com might have the answers with their Adaptive Payment Framwork (APF).

With APF when the payment is take the fee and order can be instantly sent to your partner and you get to choose who pays for the tranaction action fees.
