Summary: Booknando has spent more than a decade innovating in Brazilian digital publishing. From hand-crafted conversion to AI-assisted automated processes, the company has followed every shift in the industry.
Life is made of phases, changes and transformations. In our 12 years we have lived every one of those stages intensely. Booknando started in 2014 as a company focused on converting digital books and, over more than a decade, grew into a reference for accessible digital content production in Brazil.
Looking back gives us the perspective to understand the road we have travelled. Brazilian digital publishing has changed profoundly over these ten years, and Booknando has followed every stage of that change, adapting and innovating to meet the industry's growing demands.
Building an outstanding team
One of the most important decisions we made over this decade was to invest in people. From the start we understood that the quality of our work depends directly on the quality of our team. So we concentrated on recruiting, training and keeping talented people in editorial design, EPUB development, digital accessibility and project management.
We built a multidisciplinary team able to handle complex projects quickly and precisely. Each person brings a speciality that complements the rest, which is what lets Booknando deliver complete solutions to publishers of every size.
Artificial intelligence as an everyday tool
Using artificial intelligence tools is part of our daily routine. We use AI to streamline production, from automated manuscript analysis to checking conformance with accessibility standards. That lets us work more efficiently without giving up the craft quality that characterises what we do.
We do not see AI as a replacement for human work, but as a powerful ally that amplifies what our team can do. With these tools we deliver more projects in less time while holding the high standard our clients expect.
Focusing on EPUB 3 and public textbook programme production
Over recent years we have consolidated our expertise in producing books in EPUB 3, the international standard for digital publications. Built on web technologies such as HTML5 and CSS3, the format makes it possible to create books that are accessible, interactive and compatible with many reading platforms.
Brazil's national textbook and teaching material programme (PNLD) accounts for a significant part of our work. The programme's requirements for accessibility and technical quality demand specialist professionals, and Booknando has positioned itself as a strategic partner for the publishers taking part.
Clients can count on ongoing advice
We position ourselves as advisers to our clients rather than simply suppliers. We work alongside publishers through every stage of digital production, from assessing the original material to final delivery and distribution on the platforms.
That advisory approach means our clients can make informed decisions about their digital publishing projects. We share what we know about market trends, technical requirements and good practice, so that each project reaches the best result it can.
Ten years is only the beginning. With a skilled team, processes sharpened by artificial intelligence and an unwavering commitment to quality and accessibility, Booknando is ready for whatever digital publishing brings next.
