Reading AuctionBytes: Bookselling Site AbeBooks Integrates Iberlibro Inventory

AbeBooks has integrated IberLibro.com listings into its database. AbeBooks acquired IberLibro.com in October 2004. Until now, the Spanish website had operated as an independent platform with separate inventory.

AbeBooks has over 100 million new, used, rare, and out-of-print titles listed for sale by more than 13,500 independent booksellers from around the world. The new integration means IberLibro visitors can buy books from booksellers all over the world who are listing through AbeBooks, while AbeBooks customers gain access to IberLibro's unique selection of Spanish-language books. IberLibro booksellers will receive access to the millions of book-buyers who regularly visit the AbeBooks network of sites.

AbeBooks sales data reveals customers from Spain and Latin American countries also buy books in languages other than Spanish. Last year, they placed around 35 per cent of their orders to international booksellers. "Spanish speakers prefer to buy books from a Spanish-language website," said Hannes Blum, president and CEO of AbeBooks. "So we want to make IberLibro.com their preferred website to find and buy any book from any bookseller anywhere."

IberLibro.com will not be rebranded as AbeBooks because of its high level of recognition in Spain where it is the leading online marketplace for books.
