BK News<br />
<strong>Berrett</strong>-<strong>Koehler</strong> Discovers a Route to India<br />
In January, BK’s vice president for<br />
international sales and business<br />
development, Johanna Vondeling,<br />
finalized a deal with our new, exclusive<br />
distribution partner in the Subcontinent:<br />
HarperCollins <strong>Publishers</strong> India (HCI). HCI<br />
impressed us greatly with its publication<br />
of an Indian edition of our book Infinite<br />
Vision. It has a well-respected brand and<br />
a strong presence in the region, which<br />
includes not only India but also Pakistan,<br />
Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka,<br />
and the Maldives.<br />
Think Globally, Print Locally<br />
This deal will effectively give us coverage<br />
for our entire list in English. And we’re<br />
doing it through a new kind of distribution<br />
arrangement. Rather than importing<br />
all our books from halfway around the<br />
world, HCI will be printing many of our<br />
titles—both newer and older books—in<br />
India. Local printing will allow HCI to<br />
price books appropriately for its markets<br />
and will greatly shrink BK’s environmental<br />
footprint. The locally printed books<br />
will be co-branded with the BK and HCI<br />
logos. HCI will create a separate home<br />
on its website for BK titles, and it will<br />
market and publicize our books as well.<br />
This Calls for a Party<br />
The partnership was launched at a<br />
special event in Delhi on February 23, to<br />
which HCI invited many local booksellers<br />
and other publishing stakeholders. The<br />
partnership was given further attention at<br />
the HCI booth at the Delhi Book Fair, the<br />
region’s premier bookselling event, which<br />
ran from February 25 through March 4.<br />
Digital Deals<br />
We’re continuing to expand both our list of digital partners and, in doing so, the ways<br />
in which readers can find, access, and share content. <strong>Our</strong> four latest deals bring the<br />
total list of digital partners to thirty-nine, and we’re not done yet!<br />
aNobii aNobii describes itself as “an online reading community built by readers<br />
for readers allowing you to shelve, find and share books.” Members can recommend<br />
books, create reading groups and discussion guides, link up with their Facebook<br />
and Twitter accounts, and a whole lot more. If something catches your eye, you<br />
can buy it while you’re on the site. aNobii has over 500,000 members already.<br />
Library Ideas Library Ideas, a library ebook distributor, has an interesting<br />
business model. Rather than paying once for the purchase of a single ebook (as<br />
is typically the case), libraries pay Library Ideas every time they loan the ebook,<br />
and the publisher gets a percentage of the revenue. The company’s products have<br />
been used millions of times by patrons of over 1,000 libraries in many different<br />
countries.<br />
BookRiff BookRiff’s founder calls it “iTunes for books.” It enables you to<br />
mix content from virtually any source: published books, your own files, web sites,<br />
you name it. BookRiff will assemble and deliver your custom digital book, which<br />
it calls a “Riff.” You can even sell a Riff you’ve created. BookRiff ensures that all<br />
copyright owners and contributors get paid for their content.<br />
Cyberlibris Cyberlibris is a distributor of digital content based in France.<br />
It uses subscription models to provide content to public libraries, academic<br />
institutions, and corpora tions reaching tens of thousands of readers.<br />
