"E-book data poor" (from The Bookseller)
Quote:
Foyles and Nielsen Book have called for greater co-operation from publishers regarding information for both selling and monitoring e-book sales.

Becky Jones (pictured), head of e-commerce at Foyles, told delegates at The Bookseller's Digital Conference, FutureBook, sponsored by Wiggin and held in London last week, that current e-book bibliographic data was "poor". She said: "Many have no jackets and no book synopsis. Many are supplied without information such as author or publication date."

She added: "Random House is a fantastic publisher and does a great deal in the e-book market here, but when The Lost Symbol came out it failed to put either 'Dan' or 'Brown' in the file information."
