Pubfront ApS is a Danish software company that develops digital publishing and distribution platforms. It is headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark.[1] The company was originally founded as Riidr ApS in March 2010.[1] In 2014, it sold its consumer-facing business, Riidr.com, to JP/Politikens Hus and continued operations as a B2B technology provider under the name Pubfront.[2]
History
[edit]Pubfront was incorporated in 2010 as Riidr ApS, with a focus on developing e-reading applications tailored to the Scandinavian market.[1] Its initial platform allowed users to purchase and read e-books across devices.
In 2012, the company partnered with Swedish digital retailer Bokon.se to expand into the Swedish market.[3] In 2013, it entered the Norwegian market via a platform partnership with EBOK.NO, which went on to become a leading digital book service in Norway.[3]
In November 2014, Riidr.com was acquired by JP/Politikens Hus, a major Danish media group.[2] Following the sale, the company was renamed Pubfront ApS and shifted focus exclusively to white-label digital distribution platforms for publishers and media organizations.
Products
[edit]Digital Publishing Platform

Audiorista

- EBOK.NO, a Norwegian e-book and audiobook retailer.[3]
