Unbridled E-book Sale a Great Success
Unbridled Books’ “25 for 25” e-book sale, in which 25 titles were offered for a 25 cents each, has been deemed an “unparalleled success,” according to the American Booksellers Association. “While we recognize that selling books for a quarter is not only unsustainable, but is fraught with other issues,” the ABA’s COO, Len Vlahos, said, “This experiment did demonstrate that consumers are interested in buying e-books from independent bookstores.” Vlahos reported that 145 independent bookstores across the country sold a total of 15,807 Unbridled e-books through the ABA’s platform during the three-day sale last weekend. The bestselling title was The Singer’s Gun Politics & Prose in Washington, D.C. sold 919 Unbridled e-books to 95 customers during the sale. Communications manager Andrew Getman noted that not only did customers buy Unbridled e-books during the sale, they bought other e-books that were not discounted, and that most of these customers were new registrants to P&P’s web site as well.

Powell's Bookstore Powered by Solar | Dear Author
Maybe Obama should designate someone from Powell's Books to be part of the energy counsel. Powell's has installed 540 solar panels on the top of its 60,000 square foot building. These panels will generate enough electricity to power a quarter of the building. In five years, the investment will pay for itself. Amazingly cool. Jane
