Indie Booksellers Migrate To Drupal to Increase Internet Sales

The American Booksellers Association is encouraging its membership to increase sales by going live on a new Drupal platform (à la LISNews).

The three stores with live beta-test Drupal sites are Vroman’s Bookstore in Pasadena, California; Literary Bookpost in Salisbury, North Carolina; and RiverRead Books in Binghamton, New York.

A demo store is set up at Cascade o’ Books“not a real bookstore”–where “booksellers can see how easy it is to change the color scheme and layout by choosing a theme using the drop down menu on the homepage,” said Ricky Leung, director of ABA’s E-Commerce Solution. Anyone can test out themes and the shopping cart.
