If Content is King, then Content Conversion is the Prince

PageZephyr desktop search by Markzware can do content search in Adobe InDesign CS5, QuarkXPress and more proprietary files, plus index, edit, extract and export text to publish to the internet:

This Markzware desktop search engine came to mind when I read a cnet article titled “Content is free. Formats are not.” Content search for publishing is beyond purely printing, although content in the digital printing industry, and certainly the publishing industry, faces a similar fate:

“Content may be free, but the format in which we buy it certainly is not. As Apple, Google, Red Hat, and others increasingly demonstrate, consumers and enterprises are happy to pay for “free” when packaged in convenient formats that add value to digital goods.
….
All of these (re)purchases strike me that the media world may have problems, but they are mostly of discovering convenient formats in which to deliver content. Formats that suggest, and sometimes demand, payment.”

….
Good content is a necessary precondition with getting paid, but it’s not going to be reason we pay anymore. That reason for payment is the format in which the content is delivered.

Perhaps it’s always been that way, but the physicality of the delivery mechanisms confused us: we were buying the paper but thought we were buying the news.”
