11 New Ecommerce Books for Spring 2020

Being stuck indoors is an opportunity to catch up on ecommerce reading! Here is a batch of new ecommerce books for spring. There are titles on digital marketing, brand development, artificial intelligence, affiliate marketing, startup financing, and podcasting.

I compiled this list using Amazon. From Amazon’s “Books” category, I selected “Business & Money.” From there I chose the “Processes & Infrastructure” subcategory and selected “E-commerce.” Then I handpicked titles from that group based on customer ratings and relation to ecommerce. I also chose a few titles from the “Small Business & Entrepreneurship” subcategory.
