Bringing together innovative technology, brand new analytics, and the company's in-depth knowledge of the international ebook marketplace, the platform was released to all current ePubDirect customers today.

"Publishers who want to explore new markets and boost revenues will finally have a clear view of their global digital sales." ePubDirect offers incredibly powerful analytical tools and reports, which makes it easier than ever to stay on top of expanding ebook markets. "The good news today is that many publishers are finding significant sources of new revenue," added Cuddy, "but until now they haven't had the data they need, when they need it, to make the most of these opportunities."
At a time when traditional print markets are flat or in decline, global ebook markets make it possible for publishers to reach new customers in a growing number of online storefronts around the world. Since 2013, ePubDirect customers experienced on average 12% growth in sales month on month, in stark contrast to an overall flat market.
