Readium LCP demos
The following demos are provider with a French voice and English subtitles.
The first video demonstrates how easy it is to set up an OPDS catalog and borrow LCP-protected ebooks from an online public library (here Lirtuel in Belgium).
The second video demonstrates how patrons, once authenticated, can borrow EPUBs from Thorium Reader without any friction and how loan extension and early return work like a charm. It also demonstrates the ease of synchronization and import of loans in the Aldiko Next mobile application. Aldiko Next is based on the Readium Mobile development kit.
Note: the URL of Lirtuel’s OPDS catalog is http://www.lirtuel.be/v1/home.opds2. You must be a patron and thus have an identifier + password to be able to reproduce the steps in this video.
