CreateSpace Passes 2-Million Title Milestone

 

Recent Enhancements, Innovations and Changes Make It Easier than Ever for Indie and Enterprise Members to Sell Their Work to the Widest Possible Audience

 

 

CHARLESTON, S.C., May 24, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- From major publishing houses to independent authors, more and more people are able to reach broad audiences through the CreateSpace platform. CreateSpace, part of the Amazon.com, Inc. /quotes/comstock/15*!amzn/quotes/nls/amzn (AMZN 126.26, -0.05, -0.04%) group of companies, today announced an exciting milestone: more than 2 million book, DVD and CD titles have now been made available through the innovative full-service and do-it-yourself creative platform.

 

These titles are made on-demand when customers order them and are continuously available on Amazon.com and other channels. With the recent launch of its Expanded Distribution Channel, a strong member community and a comprehensive suite of free tools and fee-based services, CreateSpace provides the most comprehensive solution for content owners who want to distribute their books, DVDs and CDs without inventory.

 

"This milestone of success for CreateSpace demonstrates the significant growth of our business and the on-demand industry," said Dana LoPiccolo-Giles, managing director, CreateSpace. "With all the recent advances in our technology and services, CreateSpace is the ideal solution for publishers to make their entire catalogs available on-demand, and for authors to distribute their creative work with as little or as much support as they need."

LG-아이리버, 전방위 협력 급물살…왜?

 

의미있는 제휴 관계네요. 주가엔 어떻게 반영될지... 문제는 그야말로 <컨텐츠>네요. 컨텐츠회사를 포함하는게 좋을텐데요. 저는 가장 좋은 파트너가 어딘 줄 아는데 말이죠.

 

 

LG-아이리버, 전방위 협력 급물살…왜?
남혜현 기자 hyun@zdnet.co.kr 2010.05.28 / AM 08:00
 
[지디넷코리아]전자책 시장으로 영향력을 확장하려는 LG와 사업영역 다각화를 추진하는 아이리버의 이해관계가 맞아 떨어진 것일까?

 

LG와 아이리버간 협력이 급물살을 타고 있다. 음악폰에 이어 전자책에서도 손을 잡을 가능성이 제기됐다.

 

관련 업계에 따르면 LG디스플레이는 전자책 부문에서, LG전자 및 텔레콤은 휴대폰 분야에서 아이리버와 협력을 추진중이다.

 

LG디스플레이와 아이리버는 26일 '전자책 관련 합작법인'을 내부 검토 중이라고 공시했다. 구체적인 사안은 공개되지 않았지만 시장에서는 이미 아이리버의 주가가 이틀째 상한가를 기록했다.

E-Books Rewrite Bookselling

In 2000, crowds wait to buy the latest Harry Potter book at a Maryland Barnes & Noble store.

NEW YORK—In the massive new Barnes & Noble superstore on Manhattan's Upper East Side, generous display space is devoted to baby blankets, Art Deco flight clocks, stationery and adult games like Risk and Stratego.

 

The eclectic merchandise, which has nothing to do with books, may be a glimpse into the future of Barnes & Noble Inc., the nation's largest book chain.

For 40 years, Barnes & Noble has dominated bookstore retailing. In the 1970s it revolutionized publishing by championing discount hardcover best sellers. In the 1990s, it helped pioneer book superstores with selections so vast that they put many independent bookstores out of business.

Barnes & Noble Adds CDs, DVDs to Marketplace


윌리엄 린치, 반스앤노블 신임 CEO의 행보가 범상치 않네요. 상품 포트폴리오 확장 차원에서 CD, DVD 마켓플레이스 (중고품 판매 포함)를 추가한다고 합니다. 국내에는 이미 익숙한 포트폴리오지만, 반스앤노블 자체적으론 나름의 변화네요. 기대됩니다.
