The New York Times Enters the E-Book Realm with RoyaltyShare's Assistance
The New York Times, a pioneer in news and media, has taken a significant step into the digital age by launching an e-Book bestseller list in early 2011. This move, a reflection of the growing popularity of e-Books and digital reading formats, marks a new chapter in the publication's history.
At the heart of this initiative is RoyaltyShare, a global leader in digital revenue management and reporting solutions for the music and book publishing industries. RoyaltyShare's technology is instrumental in providing sales data analytics and tracking services for e-Book sales, ensuring that the data used for the bestseller lists is comprehensive and reliable.
By partnering with RoyaltyShare, The New York Times can now include digital book sales in their bestseller rankings. This partnership broadens the scope of their traditional bestseller lists, capturing sales across platforms that might otherwise be difficult to monitor in a unified way.
Michael Kozlowski, a veteran writer with 18 years of experience under his belt, authored the press release announcing this exciting development. Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, Kozlowski has been writing about audiobooks, e-books, and e-readers for numerous publications. The press release can be found on the New York Times website.
The e-Book preview list for November is now available, covering both Fiction and Non-Fiction genres. As the first major company to fill the void in e-Book reading lists, The New York Times' move is a tremendous step forward, legitimising e-Books into the mainstream.
With major retail stores like Bestbuy, Staples, Walmart, and bookstores now offering a wide array of e-Readers, and prices coming down, it's clear that e-Readers have taken North America by storm in the last 14 months. The New York Times' foray into the e-Book realm is a testament to this digital revolution, and a promising sign for the future of digital literature.
