November 22, 2011: DC Announces Launch of Amazon Storefront

Kindle Storefront Includes Best-Selling Graphic Novels Now Available for Digital Download on Kindle Fire

DC Entertainment announced today the launch of a new branded storefront on Amazon.com (www.amazon.com/DC). The new storefront offers a variety of DC Entertainment print books, as well as digital copies of more than 100 best-selling graphic novels including Watchmen, Batman: Year One, Superman: Earth One, and Sandman by acclaimed author Neil Gaiman. The digital graphic novels are all available for download on the new Kindle Fire, and readers will soon also be able to access digital copies through the broader Amazon digital ecosystem.

In anticipation of Kindle Fire's 7" vibrant color touch screen, DC Entertainment's digital team consulted with Amazon as they developed innovative Comic Reader technology that intuitively leads readers through each comic page. The Comic Reader creates a customized reading experience that other eReader devices don't offer.

"We're thrilled to not only offer our graphic novels on Amazon's new, hugely popular Kindle Fire, but also about the launch of a dedicated storefront that will reach Amazon.com shoppers every day," stated Jim Lee, co-publisher of DC Entertainment. "The innovative 'Comic Reader' was developed specifically for Kindle Fire readers - the books look gorgeous on the device. We look forward to even more digital graphic-novel distribution deals, but are delighted with this first collaboration and developing it further."

A large list of DC Entertainment titles from its DC Comics, Vertigo and MAD imprints are now available for both digital download and physical purchase, with more titles to be added in the near future. "All Star Superman", "Kingdom Come", "Superman for All Seasons", and "Superman: Earth One" are some of the Superman titles available.
