Adobe Launches Own E-Book Store







Adobe Launches Own E-Book Store

Adobe Launches Own E-Book Store 12/18/2003 04:35 AM

So soon after Barnes & Noble shut down their own eBook store, Adobe apparently realized they need to jumpstart this market on their own, if they want to make sure that electronic books start showing up in their preferred pdf format. So, they've gone and launched their own damn e-book store with a ton of books and magazines - all in the pdf format, of course. An interesting idea (sort of like Apple opening up iTunes to drive iPod sales). However, Adobe may find that they have a bigger hurdle to face. They won't get the same sort of buzz that Apple got, most people don't associate Adobe with electronic books, and plenty of people are still unsure why they want electronic books. Yes, there are some who like e-books, and who are familiar with Adobe's efforts, but it's been a small group, and it's unclear if this will alert many more people.

ez_book.jpg imageau is all set to launch their "EZ Book Land!" e-book service in Japan, hoping to breathe new life into the dying market. I seem to recall e-books failing on pretty much all fronts, but given most of us have our mobile phones close at any given moment, this may prove to be a better destination for the contents. au is throwing a wacky business model at the service, where they hope downloading e-books will lead to purchases of the same books on their online store. But you can get comics, leading me to believe this service will be far more successful than previous e-book services in Japan.
