Interactive-Book Toolmaker Inkling Raises $16M
Inkling, which helps publishers make interactive books for the Web and iOS, has raised $16 million in Series C funding led by Sequoia Capital, just about exactly two years after it raised slightly more than that — $17 million — in Series B funding from the same investors. The San Francisco company said it has a deal to help bring 1,000 new academic and medical titles to the Inkling store from partners Elsevier and Pearson, and that it will soon add Android support.
