Testimonials:-

The services of Supremus Group LLC had been recommended to me concerning the format conversion of a book for E-book publication by Mobipocket.

The book was a quadrilingual translation (English, French, German and Spanish) of a Sanskrit text, illustrated by 26 original paintings. The format was extremely challenging to work with, given the verse form of the text and the need to present a parallel running version, in each language, next to the original Sanskrit.

The development team that worked on this project did, in my estimation, a superb technical and artistic job, and what is also important, in a timely fashion, at a reasonable cost.

I must add that the whole matter was handled in a professional and courteous manner. I cannot but highly recommend their services.
