VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - May 10, 2011) - A small Canadian start up eBook publisher sits among a list of global publishing power houses as one of the top 50 Humor eBooks on Apple's iPod Touch. Vancouver based, Open Mic Press sales surged in May 2011 when bookstorechart.com named "The Best of Drunk Texter" by Ivana Murleau (we get it: I wanna Merlot) at 16th place in the category of Top 50 humor eBooks available for download on ipod, using the iBooks App available from the App Store on iTunes.
"The Best of Drunk Texter is a hilarious book," says Open Mic Press Co-Owner and Publicist Robert Christofle. "We saw a huge surge on all ebook sale sites when the news came out surpassing our other eBooks virtually overnight."
The eBook is listed in over 43 countries with over 72 ebook sellers.
Open Mic Press was founded by Robert Greene and Robert Christofle in January 2011 to bring humour with a Canadian twist to the world ebook market. The venture was also an initiative to push environmental friendly publishing since ebooks creates little to no paper waste.
"It's nice to see that a small ePublishing House from Canada with only two employees can compete against multi-conglomerates for readers of eBooks," says Christofle.
According to data released by the Association of American Publishers, the growth of ebooks continues to accelerate to the obvious detriment of print books. In 2011, ebook sales surpassed hard cover book sales for the first time.
