A Special Announcement From Tattered Cover Book Store


Finally You Can Build a "Cloud-Based" Library
with Instant Access through Multiple Devices,
All While Supporting Independent Bookstores

Indie bookstore customers in the metro-Denver area no longer have to choose between reading digital and supporting their local bookstore -- Tattered Cover Book Store is now selling Google eBooks online at tatteredcover.com. Google eBooks launched its new program December 6, 2010, and is partnering with the American Booksellers Association so indie bookstores can provide an easy way for their customers to discover, read, and buy hundreds of thousands of e-books at competitive prices.

"More and more of our customers are buying eReaders and are looking to purchase eBooks," said Neil Strandberg, Manager of Operations. "Google eBooks now allows us to remain the store of choice for our loyal customers who are reading digital, and to serve new customers."

"This partnership with Google allows independent bookstores that are our members to better compete with corporate retailers on selection, price, and convenience," said ABA President Michael Tucker. "It levels the playing field."

Google eBooks offers a new form of cloud-based digital book that allows you to access your library on almost any device from one single repository, regardless of where the eBook was purchased. Google is offering tens of thousands of titles for sale, ranging from new releases and bestsellers in every category to classics in the public domain.

Because Google eBooks work with myriad devices, including Androids, iPhones, iPads, Sony and Nook Readers, laptops & more, consumers are free to shop from a variety of retailers rather than being bound to one. This opens up a wealth of indie recommendations and bestsellers to avid e-book readers.

In addition to eBooks, you can search through a database of five million titles of print books at tatteredcover.com, peruse staff picks, bestsellers, the Indie Next List, and find listings for over 600 author appearances and other community events happening each year.
