Amazon has announced that it’s expanding its Amazon Publishing arm into German-language books, and it’s now looking to acquire fiction for Kindle-users and print-editions for sale through Amazon.
Amazon first revealed it was entering the publishing fray with AmazonEncore back in 2009, and today the program constitutes eleven imprints, including Amazon Encore (rediscovered works), Amazon Crossing (translated works), Jet City Comics (comics and graphic novels), and Amazon Publishing itself, which deals with non-fiction, memoirs, and general fiction.
AmazonCrossing, the translation-focused imprint, has already been converting English-language works into German since July 2012. Today’s news will see renewed focus specifically on new German-language books.
