Amazon Publishing is continuing to broaden its distribution channels, as the New York-based imprint has formed a partnership with Ingram Content Group that will make the company's e-books available to competitors such as Apple, Barnes & Noble and Kobo.
It took a couple of months to finalize the deal with Ingram but the books have long been available to anybody willing to list them. They were never intended to be exclusive to Amazon.
