Airport and transportation hub retailer Hudson Booksellers has launched its own website, hudsonbooksellers.com, via the ABA's IndieCommerce program, offering books and Kobo e-books.
"We don't just sell books, we love books, all books," said Sara Hinckley, v-p of book buying & promotions, for Hudson Booksellers. "We have been the traveler's local bookstore for over 20 years, a cultural gateway between their home cities and the world."
The website will also offer news about book signings and special events, staff recommendations and a new, interactive feature called "Ask a Bookseller." To promote the launch of the online store, Hudson is offering customers a 40% discount on their first order and free shipping on any physical book orders over $75 with use of the code JUSTLANDED.
Hudson Booksellers has about 65 stores across the country, and books are sold in another 335 Hudson News newsstands. Most of the stores are in airports and bus and train stations.
