Who Can Sell these Books?

Our intention is to develop a network of independent booksellers rather than selling through dominant retailers such as iTunes or Amazon. This will enable our distributors to differentiate themselves to some degree from those large booksellers.

Our distributors may include:

• School and College bookshops (both ACS Distance Education affiliates, and others)
• Established bookshops that have a desire to expand into distributing e books
• Individuals with expertise and established networking within their industry, who seek to develop an online bookshop as an adjunct to their other professional activity (e.g. consultants, business coaches, media professional etc.)
• Other businesses that have a desire to expand into distributing e books (e.g. established mail order or online businesses).

We are interested in discussing the establishment of a bookshop with anyone who is interested and who can demonstrate a capacity to succeed in this area of business.
