Etisalat launches eBook store

Etisalat, M.D. Gunasena and Mobile Solution providers Microimage will launch Sri Lanka's first ever online eBook store ‘Book Hub’ and eBook reader.

The innovation will see Sri Lankan literary works published electronically for the very first time and made available for direct purchase through any Personal Computer, Android or Apple mobile device. The eBook store will be available to all users free and regardless of their mobile carrier.

The eBook store will host English, Sinhala and Tamil locally published works in an electronic format. Users can shop through the portal, choose the books they want and directly download them to their smart phone, tablet or any PC. The content will go beyond novels, potentially including any locally published material such as educational publications, magazines, children's books, religious texts and business journals.
