For Immediate Release

Innovative System Brings eBooks to Bricks & Mortar Retail

New Ebook Retail System unveiled at Canadian Booksellers Association Conference

Toronto, Ontario, May 14^th, 2011 –  Until today, eBook was a taboo word to independent bookstores. Now, a new sales method for eBooks, announced at the Canadian Booksellers Association National Conference, has opened up sales channels for independent booksellers and the huge mass-retail market.

With hundreds of retailers already interested and eager to participate, Enthrill Distribution, the company behind the game-changing offering, will be conducting a market evaluation of the system in the coming months. Numerous retail outlets and bookstores will participate, with titles from both US and Canadian publishers.

Enthrill co-founder, Kevin Franco says, “Enthrill’s eBook sales program is a natural fit for booksellers. It utilizes the merchandising skills and knowledge the traditional bricks & mortar booksellers already have. The content is the same, we’ve simply given them a package they can sell.”

After researching various distribution models currently in place for both digital and print books, Enthrill found that bricks and mortar locations were equipped to sell eBooks, they just needed the digital asset in a tangible form.

“When we brought our idea to the Canadian Booksellers Association, they were excited that their members could finally take part in eBook sales,” says Franco. “Now anyone, not just device holders, can purchase an eBook. Finally, eBooks can be given as gifts.”

The market for eBooks just grew substantially – and retailers are now part of it.

Enthrill Distribution Inc. is focused on revolutionizing the distribution system for eBooks by identifying new opportunities in digital delivery.

One Child in Open Library

Enthrill Entertainment is happy to announce that One Child was successfully added to the Open Library, an online book lending web site.

Kevin Franco, a co-founder of Enthrill, spoke at the Books in Browsers Conference held at the Internet Archive in October of 2010 where he learned about the Open Library project. Kevin met with the Director of Open Library, Peter Brantley, to get more information and details on the Open Library project and suggested it to the Enthrill board as a great opportunity - Enthrill was happy to participate in such a worthwhile endeavour. 

You can sign up for an account with Open Library and 'borrow' One Child here (at the time of writing this article, the book was checked out).

Open Library is an initiative of the Internet Archive, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, building a digital library of Internet sites and other cultural artifacts in digital form.
