News Flash - Macmillan launches first eBook sites using ground breaking BookStore platform more >>

BookStore is a digital content delivery platform that will help publishers manage the transition to new digital publishing and distribution models. BookStore allows publishers to hold and display back list and front-list book content in a consistent, stable and secure digital repository for delivery via multiple channels and in a number of formats.

The platform enables publishers to maintain control over their own copyrights in today’s fast-moving digital environment, while enjoying the benefits of online accessibility and heightened visibility via search engines and e-commerce sites.

Publishers have the flexibility to match access rights to type of content, and to benefit from a palette of e-marketing, e-commerce and statistical tools which will bring them closer than ever before to their readers.

Why do publishers need a digital book repository?

Most publishers know that they need to maintain their position in the digital value chain, especially as non-traditional, internet-based competitors aggressively enter the market for content aggregation, marketing and distribution.

What will the impact of digital initiatives like Google Book Search or Amazon’s Inside the Book be on publishers in the future? How can publishers prepare themselves for the development of the e-book market or for the new business models required as disaggregated content becomes increasingly popular? Perhaps most importantly, who will own the relationship between author and reader in five or ten years’ time?

...BookStore is designed to provide publishers with the answers to these questions, and in the future we will continue to develop the service to meet the needs of this rapidly changing environment.
