An Amazon publishing division has inked a partnership with a book distributor that could help ease some of the tension in the e-book industry.
Amazon's New York-based book publishing imprint signed a deal with book distributor Ingram Content Group that will allow Amazon competitors such as Apple and Barnes & Noble to sell Amazon titles, PaidContent reported today.
"We welcome Amazon Publishing's New York adult group to the growing list of publishers who use our service," Phil Ollila, Ingram Content Group's chief content officer, told PaidContent. The partnership does not include Amazon's West Coast imprints.
Tensions between Amazon and Barnes & Noble, the world's largest brick-and-mortar bookseller, began to flare when Amazon introduced the Kindle Fire and announced an exclusive deal with DC Comics to sell digital copies of 100 of DC's graphic novels exclusively on the Fire.
