Following The Electronic Telegraph‘s announcement that it is launch an online bookstore (see Newsline), HarperCollins – the UK’s largest consumer book publisher – announced today that it is also launching an online booksite.
Called fireandwater, based on HarperCollins logo, the site will launch in October, and aims to ‘extend people’s pleasure around books’. It will be divided into five sections: news, words, books, authors and inprints.
Designed by Modem Media Poppe Tyson, HarperCollins hopes the site will offer consumers a dynamic new way to find out about the latest books the company publishes. It will however, have to compete with the likes of Amazon.co.uk and Electronic Telegraph‘s new online store.
