If the merger of Penguin and Random House gets regulatory approval, the venture will publish about a quarter of the world’s English language books, with a roster of best-selling writers from Jamie Oliver, the chef, to EL James, whose erotic novel Fifty Shades of Grey – popular on discreet ereading devices – this year became the UK’s biggest-selling book to date.
如果企鹅出版社与兰登书屋的合并获得监管机构批准,合并后公司出版的图书将占全球英语类图书的约四分之一,作者队伍中不乏畅销书作家,如英国知名大厨杰米·奥利弗(Jamie Oliver)以及EL·詹姆斯(EL James)等。EL·詹姆斯的性爱小说《五十层灰》(Fifty Shades of Grey)在私密性较好的电子阅读设备上非常流行,该书是今年迄今英国最畅销的小说。
Rumours are rife about which of the remaining “big six publishers – Hachette, HarperCollins, Macmillan, and Simon and Schuster – may be next to combine, or whether smaller publishers will be snapped up by the big players.
人人纷纷猜测,“六大出版商中余下的四家——阿歇特(Hachette)、哈珀柯林斯(HarperCollins)、麦克米伦(Macmillan)和西蒙与舒斯特(Simon and Schuster)——接下来会有谁展开合并,或者,大型出版商是否会吞并中小出版商。
But not all publishers believe getting bigger is the solution. Some believe Amazon will lose its grip on book distribution as rival retailers and tech groups enter the market, including Apple, Google, Barnes and Noble, and supermarkets such as Tescoand Sainsbury’s.
