Tor to launch DRM-free online book store
6 June, 2012 | by Retail Bulletin
Tor, the sci-fi and fantasy book and comic publisher, is to launch its own online book store to enable customers to buy its titles direct.
Commenting on the planned new store, Tor’s Tom Doherty said: “This isn’t in lieu of the existing online retailers, but in addition to them.
“We think there’s room for all kinds of retail models in the growing e-book field—and we aim in particular to provide a rich, informative browsing experience to fans and devotees of the kinds of books Tor and Forge have made their reputations publishing.”
The store is due to open this summer and will carry digital rights management free titles from the Tor, Forge, Starscape, Tor Teen and Orb ranges.
