Il Ritmo

The Book Standard features an article on Ritmo Latino, the Spanish-language music chain that's expanded into the book market. One thing I found interesting - some of these stores have Internet cafes, where customers can "go online for 'see inside the book' features."

Big question: are these features in English or Spanish? The US book-content market has been looking for a Spanish-language solution - bibliographic data, reviews, summaries, author bios, tables of contents in Spanish rather than English - and if Ritmo Latino is getting this content from somewhere, plenty of people would like to know where. If Ritmo Latino is composing this themselves, there's a lot of money to be made here.

If neither, then once again this points to the underserved Latin market and someone really ought to be getting a jump on getting book information to the Spanish-speaking customer in their own language.
