Palm E-book Founders Out After Acquisition
The sale of Palm Digital Media, the e-book retail Web site of the maker of Palm handheld devices, to PalmGear, a company that sells other Palm OS applications, in early September has led to the departure of PDM’s founding managers and spurred concern that the new owner is arbitarily removing or concealing titles that deal with sex or are aimed at gay and lesbian readers.
Before being acquired by Palm in 2001, PDM was known as Peanut Press and specialized in selling trade e-books in a digital format that would run on the Palm OS. But the acquisition of the firm by the Franklin, TN-based PalmGear has spurred the departure of Jeff Strobel, the founder and director; technical director David Pasco (who will leave later this week); and Mike Segroves, former director of business development.
"We are a retail site," says Segroves, "and we never quite fit the Palm business model." Indeed Segroves says he decided to leave the company immediately after the deal was signed. "There was a big difference in their philosophy of how to run the business. We differed on everything from decisions about titles to marketing."
Previously PDM owners (NetLibrary and Palm) "stayed out and let us run the company," Segroves says. He continues, "I’m used to being the top dog and I didn't react well to the change. It was time for us to move.on."
