Spanish e-book platform
The long-awaited e-book platform from Spain’s big three publishers now has a name. At a meeting with booksellers in Madrid on Tuesday, representatives of the new company announced it will be called Libranda, and will offer the biggest selection of e-books in Spanish and Catalan in the world. Libranda will act as a digital distributor with no direct-to-consumer sales, in hopes of preserving the value chain linking publishers to readers through traditional and online booksellers.
