Monday, October 20, 1997 Amazon Inks Netscape Netcenter Exclusive Bookseller Deal Martyn Williams. Amazon TOKYO, JAPAN, 1997 OCT 20 (NB).com Inc. [NASDAQ:AMZN] has signed an agreement with Netscape Communications Corporation [NASDAQ:NCSP] that makes it exclusive bookseller on the Netscape Netcenter home page. The deal, financial terms of which were not disclosed, follows similar agreements Amazon.com has previously announced. Under the terms of the deal, Amazon.com will provide a co-branded online storefront at the Netscape home page, home.netscape.com . The new service, which will feature "book titles and editorial content tailored specifically to the Netscape Netcenter audience," is expected to launch before the end of 1997, said Amazon.com. The site will also receive promotion with "above the fold" visibility on the Netcenter, which will mean all visitors to the site see a button linking to the book ordering service. The Netcenter is the name given to the recently relaunched Netscape home page and aims to provide news, information and promotional items aimed at business users.
