“The Slicebooks Store will be the first in the world that offers all content whole, sliced and remixable,” says Tomich. “We’ve been in private beta for a couple of months.

“With this next phase of our platform, the integration of the new Slicebooks Store with our services platform gives publishers an automatic publishing path to a store designed specifically to feature their newly repackaged content,” said Tomich. “We aim to build an open global repository of content that gives both academic and trade consumers complete choice -- get content whole, by-the-slice or mix and match to customize your own eBook. “
