Alert! The age of the ebook is dawning (slowly, slowly) - but the age of books, or other documents, as web applications has already arrived.
Take Random House Struik’s bestselling K53 driver’s license manual, for instance: you can buy the book, or you can use the mobile K53 exam developed from the book as your chief study aid.
And it’s not just documents that are becoming web applications: it’s also processes that involve documents, like, well, divorce. Meet eDivorce, a new service that espouses the Digital Way, as it were. (Ok, “espouses” isn’t quite the correct term, but one couldn’t resist.)
Launched in Septembe, eDivorce makes getting a divorce simpler and cheaper - much cheaper - provided that both parties are in agreement over any financial settlements and that the divorce is uncontested.
This online divorce service cost less than R 1000 and can help couples legally part using its simple, automated process. The site walks users through a series of customised questions, simple and easy to understand.
In addition to this DIY divorce service, eDivorce also offers information on the physiological and psychological effects of divorce; advice on divorce-related issues like custody, maintenance and domestic violence; and makes the first Chapter of Dr Tanya Robinson’s new book, Divorce: What About The Children?, free to read.
It should be noted, though, that eDivorce is recommended only to couples who have agreed on the most important issues involving their marriage and who are bent on going through a peaceful divorce process. For spouses who fail to settle issues such as the division of their properties and child custody, a competent divorce attorney should be consulted.
The people who’ve brought you eDivorce have also just rolled out eTrust and eWill, two further DIY services. Publishers and authors of books falling within the ambit of the services rendered by eDivorce, eTrust and eWills are invited to advertise their books on these sites.
