Austin, Texas-based LibreDigital will use the new money to continue building out its cross-device e-book platform, and for marketing—to help sign on more publishing partners. It currently distributes over 175 newspapers and magazines and boasts partnerships with publishers including Hachette, Simon & Schuster and Wiley. The company most recently inked a deal to power content for Plastic Logic’s upcoming bigger, thinner Kindle-challenger.
