HTML5 eReader for Technical Publications

tekReader is the first HTML5 browser based eReader for technical publications.

Developed using open web technologies the tekReader unleashes functionality not found in today's conventional eReaders.

Read and interact, or customise the tekReader to integrate with your publishing workflows.

No internet connection? Take the tekReader and publications offline to access mission critical information.

Make the tekReader yours by incorporating company branding. Give your internal and external stakeholders the reading experience they deserve!

A Cross Platform eReader

The tekReader is truly cross platform and does not lock you in to anything proprietary.

You can access the tekReader and publications from any device that has a next gen web browser but is best to be viewed on the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, IE8 and above.

The tekReader was developed using open web standards, so there is added comfort knowing that the technology is here to stay and is not just a fad.

There are plenty of experienced developers who use HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Never a shortage of resources when it comes time to customise the tekReader to suit your needs.

SVG Popup Viewer

Large complex wiring diagrams can be viewed on any screen size with the tekReader SVG Popup Viewer.

The Viewer allows for magnification in and out of diagrams at customisable increments and the ability to move the magnification glass around to view different areas of the diagram.

View the nuts and bolts of your diagrams while maintaining the quality of your images.

Theme Based CSS3

The makers of today's eReader devices make sure that their branding is always front and centre.

Even if they had the ability to consume and display technical publications their eReader would still be ... well ... their eReader.

The tekReader's built in theme based CSS3 allows the eReader to be yours.

Add company branding and logo to the tekReader and solidify the feeling of ownership ... after all, they are your technical publications!

Take EVERYTHING offline

Businesses that rely on their technical publications to generate revenue and provide mission critical information need the ability to access them anytime, anywhere.

The tekReader's offline storage capability allows engineers, technicians, pilots and others to access technical publications when an internet connection is not available.

The ideal solution for tablets, ultrabooks and other portable devices for businesses on the move.
