XinXii Signs Partnership With Casa del Libro
Starting today, the leading bookseller in Spain will provide titles from XinXii: self-published eBooks from international indie authors. Thanks to the cooperation, we have extended our international presence by another distribution channel:
Casa del Libro is the best known address for literature not only with its 37 stores but also online with 7 million unique users. CEO Xavier Solà says that the partnership strenghtens the role of Casadellibro.com in the eBook market: “El acuerdo con XinXii refuerza aún más la apuesta de Casadellibro.com por ser líder en el mercado de e-books”.
Authors and publishers, who publish and sell their work on XinXii.com, have now the opportunity to be additionally distributed on Casadellibro.com - an exciting opportunity for non-spanish authors as well, because Casa del Libro offers a broad range of international titles. Beside the distribution, XinXii undertakes the conversion of eBooks into the necessary ePub format for free. We are convinced that our multilingual eBooks will enrich Casa del Libro, and that the Spanish eBook readership will benefit from new voices in all categories and genres of self-published literature.
