The shift from “brick and mortar” bookstores and newsstands to e-commerce and digital distribution has disrupted the balance of power between publishers and retailers, forever changing the way that customers discover, purchase and read books, magazines and newspapers. Language, taste and regulatory standards are local—but e-commerce, web and mobile distribution are global.
