Independent booksellers went mobile last week with the American Booksellers Association's launch of an iPhone/iTouch app for IndieBound. The free download focuses on the three most popular features of IndieBound.org: book lists, including the Indie Next and Indie Bestsellers lists, a book search of 3.5 million titles and listings of indie stores.
“The IndieBound iPhone app puts independent booksellers' vast hand-selling knowledge directly into the hands of an enormous audience,” said ABA COO Oren Teicher. Future versions will include e-book functionality, the ability to set a favorite indie store for repeat purchases and integration with IndieBound's wish list.
