President and Cofounder of Enthrill

 Interview Starts at 19:27

Our system really will reward stores for doing what they do best, and that’s getting customers interested in books. We’re the only true answer for discovery for eBooks that doesn’t deal with metadata. Our discovery tools are all physical, and right back to the reason that you hire a designer to do your cover art, because you want it to be picked up and looked at and get people interested. So we’re very happy with that part of our business.
