First ebookstore Outside the US to Partner With Google Books...
British company Interead announces that COOLERBOOKS.com is the
first ebookstore outside the US to partner with Google to include over 1
million public domain books (close to half a million outside the US) from
Google Books in its online library. Starting today, COOLERBOOKS.com will
feature a Google API with out of copyright works from the Google Books index,
accessible for free via the COOLERBOOKS.com website, and the COOL-ER ereader.
With this partnership, COOLERBOOKS.com becomes the largest ebookstore in the
world, with over one million titles available for purchase or free access.
COOLERBOOKS.com is known for being the ebookstore designed by
readers, for readers. Unlike other ebookstores, COOLERBOOKS.com accommodates
19 document formats: these include EPUB and PDF, and MP3 for audio books,
giving this ebookstore the broadest range of formats on the web. Users will
also be able to view a preview of many of the ebooks on offer, allowing them
to read a few pages before deciding whether they would like to buy the whole
title.
Interead is also the company behind the COOL-ER ereader, a
light, affordable and user-friendly ereader designed to be used by
technophiles and tech-phobes alike.
'At Interead, our aim has always been to make ebooks available
to ordinary book lovers, not just technology enthusiasts,' explains Neil
Jones, founder of Interead and avid book lover. 'We want everyone to be able
to enjoy the content on COOLERBOOKS.com, so even if you don't own one of our
COOL-ER ereaders you can still download your favourite titles. And now, our
partnership with Google allows us to offer more content than anyone else, as
well as giving readers the freedom to have a look through ebooks that they
might be interested in. We're extremely proud to be the first ebookstore
outside the US to partner with Google Books, and we hope that the
collaboration will make the appeal and accessibility of ebooks broader than
ever.'
"We're delighted to make part of our public domain books
available to users via COOLERBOOKS.com. We believe in an open platform for
accessing and reading books, we're always looking for more ways to expand
access to books. This partnership will make it easier for users to find and
access public domain books, thus helping bring more books to more people,"
says Santiago de la Mora, Head of Print Content Partnerships, EMEA.
