Kobo to Launch Italian Platform With Mondadori


PublishersLunch
As previously promised, Kobo will officially enter the Italian market "this fall"--the news is that they will do so through a partnership with Mondadori, "Italy’s leading retailer, and publisher of books and magazines." Mondadori will sell the Kobo Touch online and through 400 stores at 99 Euros and promises to offer over 30,000 ebooks in Italian. Kobo will join Amazon's Kindle, Google Play and the iBookstore, all of which have started selling ebooks in Italy over the past year. For Kobo, it will be the fifth store in a language other than English, joining operations in France, Germany, Holland and Japan.
