Ingram Digital SM Announces Record Month
for e-Book Fulfillment

London Book Fair - Ingram Digital, a leading provider of solutions for content
aggregation, storage, management and distribution, today announced a record month
for e-book fulfillment. The number of e-books downloaded through Ingram Digital's
Retail Solutions in March 2008 surpassed the previous record by 50 percent.

There is an increasing opportunity for publishers to leverage digital content as an
integrated element of their physical and digital content sales and promotional
strategies. Recognizing this potential, Ingram Digital has combined its proven
e-book delivery platform with its new digital audio service, Search and Discover and
Widget technologies to create its Retail Solutions offering. These services enable
publishers to market, promote, sell, and distribute their content to the broadest
range of customers in a variety of formats, including physical books.

Ingram Digital's e-book delivery platform enables companies to leverage
opportunities in a growing e-book market. Ingram Digital currently provides turnkey
e-book fulfillment services to several top online retailers including Diesel eBooks,
eReader.com, Fictionwise, and Powell's. The company also serves leading publisher
websites such as John Wiley & Sons, Inc, McGraw-Hill Professional, Pearson
Technology Group, and Simon & Schuster.

"Ingram Digital has accumulated a vast knowledge of the e-book business, first
through sister company Lightning Source TM and later through our own suite of
e-book-focused services," commented Andrew Weinstein, Vice President and General
Manager of Ingram Digital Retail Solutions. "As the needs of retailers and
publishers evolved to include e-book commercialization, we continued to improve upon
our technology infrastructure to meet those needs. Today, we are ideally positioned
to serve publishers seeking to increase their presence in the digital marketplace
without making the heavy investment necessary to build that capability in house."

Ingram Digital's recent record performance confirms the current upward trend in
e-book consumption. By providing online retailers with access to one of the largest
digital libraries of sellable content, Ingram Digital enables customers to fully
capitalize on these opportunities by offering a large and varied inventory, as well
as a seamless buying experience.

"Our March numbers are a testament to our position as premier suppliers of solutions
for digital content monetization," said Weinstein. "As the year progresses, we will
be making significant enhancements to our Retail Solutions which we believe will add
even greater value to the services we currently provide our customers."
