Kobo has said it has "no interest in fighting publishers", after signing its first publishing deal with journalist Kevin Donovan for a book about Canadian radio presenter Jian Gomeshi, who is currently awaiting trial for sexual assault.
The Canadian e-book retailer has signed world English language rights in print and digital to Jian Ghomeshi - Secret Life via Donovan's agents Jesse Finkelstein and Samantha Haywood of Transatlantic Agency - in the first deal of its kind for the company.
