bookshout! offers a digital book distribution and engagement platform that gives authors control of their audiences and provides publishers a direct sales channel with analytics. The company supports promo codes, gift cards and private‑labeled landing pages to create "reading circles" and capture readers. It recently added support for digital bulk sales, special sales and promotions for events, conferences and tours. Early adopters include CareerBuilder.com (which sponsored Nolan Bushnell’s book tour) and the Kauffman Foundation. bookshout! says the platform enables richer social sharing and measurable engagement for authors and publishers. The company is based in Dallas, Texas and features more than 250 publishers and 100,000 books accessible on iPad, iPhone, Android, Kindle Fire HD and the web.
