An article at The Register says that five prominent publishers are teaming up to form an alliance that can take on Amazon.com. Apparently heavyweights:Â Sports Illustrated, the Wall Street Journal, Better Homes and Gardens, Wired and Vanity Fair are planning to develop an online storefront capable of going toe-to-toe with Amazon.
Their aim is to build an eShop that would offer full-color, interactive digital versions of their newspapers and magazines. These documents would be readable by the next-generation of touch-screen devices. Sounds like a lot of cooperation will be required from these former competitors to make this work. There just might be enough pressure on them to force a truce, yah?
