Macmillan to Sell E-books Through Diesel eBook Store

Macmillan has partnered with the Diesel eBook Store to sell its titles directly to the public through Diesel's Web-based bookstore.

Through this partnership, Diesel will store Macmillan's digital titles on its own servers and provide fulfillment and encryption on orders through Adobe Content Server 4—up to this point, Diesel used a variety of third-party e-book distributors for encryption and fulfillment. A new proprietary PubDesk interface, through which Macmillan can access its inventory, run reports and modify its metadata, has been created and will launch shortly.
