Adobe Shuts Down Digital Media Store
ø
Robyn Weisman reports on PDFzone that Adobe is going to shut down its own e-book/e-doc store. Joe Wilcox, analyst at Jupiter Research, provides some background analysis and mentions consumer patterns and pricing as reasons for Adobe’s lack of success with the digital content store. Some months ago, I’ve heard similar comments from my colleague Mike McGuire at GartnerG2. Adobe is pointing to increased competition by online retailers such as Amazon.com and eBooks.com.
