ANN ARBOR, Mich., April 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Inside each teacher
there is an aspiring author waiting for just the right opportunity
to publish a novel, poetry or children's story. Borders is
empowering teachers to become eBook authors with a specially

The BORDERS – GET PUBLISHED™ co-branded service allows users to
create an eBook in a few simple steps using the intuitive
BookBrewer tools and then make that content available for sale
within a few days on Borders.com and other major eBook outlets,
including Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, Apple iBooks and Google
Books. Users can easily load, format and have their content
displayed across a number of technology platforms, including the
iPhone®, iPad™, Android™-powered tablets, as well as a
variety of eReaders, notably the Kobo™ Wireless eReader, Kobo™
eReader, Aluratek Libre Pro and Velocity® Micro Cruz™
Reader. Importantly, BORDERS – GET PUBLISHED™ Powered by BookBrewer
is the only retailer-aligned eBook self publishing service that
includes an integrated Print on Demand feature, which enables users
to create an automated print version of the book and allows them to
buy copies for as low as $4 and mark
them up to sell to others independently at a profit. In addition,
this is the only service that allows authors to download a DRM-free
version of their eBook to share directly with students, family or
friends. Three eBook publishing packages are available, ranging
from $19.99 to $39.99, and authors
may also purchase the Print on Demand package, available for
$49.99 for a limited time only. For

The special publishing program tailored just for teachers and
offered through the BORDERS – GET PUBLISHED™ co-branded service is
just one way Borders is showing its appreciation for educators and
the important work they do in advancing communities. Borders is
