Harlequin Releasing Electronic "Minis"

-- Library Journal, 05/31/2006

At the recent International Digital Publishing Forum in New York City, Malle Vallik, Harlequin Enterprise's director of New Business Development, revealed that since launching an ebook line of its signature Romance novels in October 2005 with 65 titles, the response has been so overwhelming that the publisher is moving 40 percent of its frontlist into the digital realm by this July. As a bonus, Harlequin is launching "Harlequin Minis," 10,000-word short stories that can be downloaded for 99¢. Harlequin also is launching an ebook store as part of its eharlequin.com site.
