Our Story
With the rise of digital book formats and digital bookstores, booksellers can instantly sell any number of copies, of any title, to readers in every corner of the globe – and readers can browse, buy, and read any book, any time.
This digital transformation has created unprecedented challenges for the publishing industry. Authors and publishers are no longer competing only with a handful of other titles on a bookstore’s shelf: they’re vying to stand out among the tens of millions of other titles available online.
Being a reader is no easy feat these days, either. Book lovers looking for their next read are overwhelmed and frustrated by the seemingly infinite options to choose from.
Pubmark was created to help solve these problems.
Pubmark was launched in 2012, a time during which significant digital changes in the book industry created both big opportunities and challenges for publishers, authors, and readers.
Our co-founders believed that discovering, buying, marketing, and selling books online should always be an easy, joyful experience. They decided to lean into two key concepts – expert curation and unmatched value – to build innovative products and tools that get the right books into the right hands.
Since then, our team has helped the publishing industry drive hundreds of millions of dollars in ebook and audiobook sales worldwide – and every day, millions of readers turn to us for help finding books they’ll love.
