Experience

eReadia LLC

eReadia builds tools that format digital content for mobile reading platforms like the Amazon Kindle, the iPhone/iPad, and devices running Android OS. Ereader device owners use these tools to access, format, and manage their own digital libraries, and content providers use these tools to organize and format content for their audiences in ereader-friendly ways. eReadia provides the engineering necessary to leverage digital text resources in a personally convenient and environmentally sustainable way.

In 2013, eReadia partnered with NASPA to create the Just in Case app for campus counseling and wellness centers. The app provides customized information about resources on campus for students confronting a mental health crisis. Information also addresses concerns that students may have if they see a friend struggling. Apps for faculty delineate each campus’s guidelines and protocols for faculty who may be concerned about a student.
