Scholastic Tries Branding with eBooks
The market for e-books is an enduring conundrum for publishers: a necessary investment while they wait out a mass market for digital books that has yet to, and may not, materialize.
But children's publishing and media company Scholastic Inc. sees its latest e-book project as a branding and marketing opportunity to help drive book sales. Plus, if the younger set warms up to e-book formats on mobile devices in the future, the company is taking no chances with positioning now.
The New York-based publishing giant plans to release 19 best-selling titles in e-book format, including its popular Dear America, Royal Diaries, Remnants and Scholastic Question & Answer book series.
The titles, extremely popular among children aged 8 and up, will be available online at retailers such as Amazon.com and Barnes&Noble.com. They will be priced for $1 less than the printed versions and available on Microsoft's Reader, which also works with Pocket PC formats, and Abobe's e-book reader formats (Mac and PC compatible).
