Michael Serbinis, CIO & EVP of Indigo Books & Music said “We’re pleased with the response to Shortcovers in just the first two months, and are learning more every day about what our users want out of a mobile destination for ebooks, magazines and newspapers. Far and away, our biggest successes are our global reach and platform diversity. We thought iPhone would dominate downloads, but we’re very popular on Blackberry and Android.”

Nice to see another Canadian company doing well!
