Small Publisher Pulls All Its Books From Amazon

Tulsa, OK-based children’s book publisher Educational Development Corporation will no longer sell any of its titles on Amazon (NSDQ: AMZN), in a move EDC president Randall White calls “critical” to his company’s growth. However, the company is uniquely positioned to make such a move. EDC, which had revenues of $27.2 million in 2011, owns two lines of books: Kane/Miller, which publishes children’s books in translation from around the world (yup, including Everyone Poops) and the U.S. branch of educational illustrated Usborne Books (the company is run separately in the UK).
