Record Q3 E-book Downloads, New Partnerships Boost
Ingram Digital's Retail Solutions Unit

LA VERGNE, TN - Ingram Digital SM, an Ingram content company focused on solutions
for digital content management, distribution and promotion, today announced that its
Retail Solutions unit has enjoyed record third quarter growth with downloads more
than double the same quarter last year.

In addition, Ingram Digital was selected by Adobe(r) Systems Incorporated to
collaborate in the development and testing of the recently-announced Adobe Content
Server 4, a new digital rights management solution that protects downloadable
e-books viewed with Adobe Digital Editions, Adobe's free client software for
managing, protecting, and reading e-books. Ingram Digital's channel customers were
among the first in the world to begin delivering secure e-books via the Content
Server 4 technology.

"At Ingram Digital, we pride ourselves on delivering an unparalleled range of
digital distribution services to the book industry, working with publishers,
retailers and libraries," said James Gray, President and CEO of Ingram Digital.
"Adobe Content Server 4 is an important addition to our offerings, allowing us to
provide the digital protection and channel flexibility that our partners are
seeking."

Ingram Digital currently offers more than 130,000 active e-book titles from more
than 1,100 publishers. With support for multiple formats, Ingram Digital offers
customers the flexibility to download books to PCs, PDAs, dedicated e-book readers,
Smartphones, and with the eReader format, directly to iPhones. Currently, all five
leading e-book formats are supported, including Adobe e-books as PDF and EPUB files,
MS Reader, eReader, and Vitalbooks.


Andrew Weinstein, Vice President and General Manager of Ingram Digital Retail
Solutions, commented: "We deliver solutions that dramatically reduce the challenges
of operating a high performance, multi-DRM infrastructure. Our format-agnostic
approach to the sale and distribution of digital content has proven to be of great
value to retailers. We are currently working with such prominent booksellers as
Diesel ebooks, eReader/Fictionwise, and Powell's Books and adding new retailers
every month."

With a very low cost of entry, the expanding e-book market enables publishers to
generate additional revenue from existing content with minimal risk. In addition,
as the handheld and wireless device markets continue to enjoy substantial growth,
the opportunity for e-books grows correspondingly.
