Minneapolis, Apr. 27, 2009 -- Digital River, Inc. (NASDAQ: DRIV - News), a leading provider of global e-commerce solutions, announced that it is significantly expanding its relationship with Eastman Kodak Company to manage Kodak’s global e-commerce operations. Under the agreement, Digital River will be providing a full range of e-commerce and e-marketing services to support all consumer online sales of Kodak’s innovative line of digital cameras, digital video cameras, digital picture frames, all-in-one inkjet printers, film and accessories across multiple countries in North America and Europe.
