Amazon plans to nearly triple magazine offering
In its bid to be the store for everything, Amazon.com also wants to be the great American newsstand. Amazon just beefed up its online magazine and newsletter offerings to 50,000 from 32,000. And by the end of the year, it will offer 90,000 publications, EBCO Industries, whose Magazine Express division is providing the publication services to Amazon, tells InternetRetailer.com.
Amazon and EBCO recently signed a deal to expand their relationship. Amazon claims its Magazine & Newspaper Subscriptions online store offers more than 30 times the number of selections at most magazine retailers.
Amazon is also offering a Gift Ideas section within its publications store to make it easier for shoppers to find publications catering to particular interests.
