BookStore, launched by MPS Technologies in February 2007, is the digital content platform that stores, displays and sells eBooks through a publisher-branded online store. The platform enables publishers to make their content available online, whilst allowing them to retain full control over all copyright, pricing and customer data. BookStore also provides publishers with access to a number of new, flexible business models.
The Macmillan Digital site offers digital books in three eBook formats: Adobe eReader, Microsoft Reader, Mobipocket and in an online format. MPS Technologies will continue digitizing Macmillan Australia’s backlist over the next year and will convert their new titles into digital form within a short time after publication.
Macmillan Publishers Australia continue their partnership with MPS Technologies and their BookStore platform through their work with Australian book retailer, Dymocks. All Macmillan Australia eBooks will be available to browse and buy through ‘digital kiosks’ in Dymocks flagship store in Sydney and via www.dymocks.com.au.
Head of Macmillan Digital, Victoria Nash, says “The BookStore platform has offered us the solution we needed to move into the exciting new digital age of book publishing. With the Macmillan Digital site we hope to extend the scope of our publishing to complement the success we already have through existing sales channels”.
