Why worry about?

Windows Version Download Mac Version Download One tool is enough: Epubor Ultimate which helps you convert books between Kindle and Kobo easily. The last but most important, we can back up our Kindle books in advance, and transfer them to our Kobo eReaders with ease. B&N has done that thing by changing their DRM scheme, but it is proved that they are losing their customers. What's more, abandoning the competitor and letting potential users go away is not Rakuten's style. As what it says, "your competitor is also your friend who help you make rapid progress". The first reason, offering Kindle books obviously is a big part of the revenue stream for OverDrive.Īnd, there are a large number of Kindle book lovers, and they are the potential customer groups who will increase their incomes if they find a better way. But at the same time I believe (I hope) they would increase sales of Kindle library books, in a differnt way.

Overdrive will be acquised by Rakuten in April, and they will operate as a subsidiary of Rakuten. We’re passionate about working with publishers, libraries, schools and retailers to make that happen, and we are very excited to join an innovative company that shares and supports our vision. Since 1986, our vision has been to advance digital publishing and content to connect readers with books and information.

As a new eBooks lover (I began to get interested in eBooks just from 2013), the first time I felt Rakuten's strong "ambition" was the time when I knew they released their new eReader "Kobo H2O", while Amazon Kindle just released their Kindle Voyage, expecially after Rakuten Kobo took over the Sony North American market. You may still remember that Rakuten bought Kobo back in 2012 for $315 million. Rakuten said today that it considers digital books as a strong part of its content ecosystem which covers video site Viki and on-demand video streaming service. Rakuten, a major Japanese retailer, looks like it had strong confidence in eBooks industry and they will try its best to play its own role.

He is the person who makes digital media available to libraries, school students, and others. Overdrive is a leading marketplace in the library eBooks and audiobooks market. It is true that they both confirmed and opened this news on their own official site, March 19, 2015. I'm so surprised when I know the news that Rakuten bought Overdrive company for $410 million.
