Everything changed with the launch of the Kindle in 2009. RosettaBooks was invited to become a Kindle alliance partner focused on backlist title acquisition with extensive site promotion for titles with short-term Kindle exclusivity.
This alliance made worldwide news in December 2009 with the publication of
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey, a book which has sold 15,000,000 copies since
publication nearly 25 years ago and sells more than 150,000 copies annually in the United States alone.
For nearly two years, the title has been the number one exclusive title available in the Kindle Store.
RosettaBooks expanded its original 100 title list to more than 500 titles by the end of 2011
and its revenues more than forty times as Kindle opened the markets worldwide.
In 2011, RosettaBooks pioneered the short inexpensive original ebook with:
RosettaBooks is now the leading independent e-book publisher. RosettaBooks plans in 2012 to publish hundreds more quality backlist titles and to launch new high brand value original content lines with hundreds of titles.
