COOLER-EBOOKS Expands UK eBookstore
By Interead, PRNESunday, December 20, 2009
More Than 2 Million eBooks Now Available From UK's Largest eBookstore
READING, England, December 21 - Interead, makers of the COOL-ER line of ereaders and proprietor of the
COOLER-EBOOKS.com ebooks store, today announced that they have partnered with
digital distributor OverDrive, which boasts a catalog of more than 400,000
digital titles in 42 languages, to augment their ebook inventory. With this
addition, COOLER-EBOOKS.com now has more than 2 million ebooks available in
the UK.
Launched less than one year ago, COOLER-EBOOKS has quickly become a
darling of the nascent ebook category. Offering everything from textbooks to
children's titles, brand-new bestsellers to honoured classics, consumers have
embraced COOLER-EBOOKS' platform-agnostic approach and elegant design.
COOLER-EBOOKS also discounts every ebook-no exceptions-by 20%, a value
proposition that has met with resounding approval, particularly in these
difficult economic times.
Interead Director of Marketing Phil Wood explained: "The reaction to
COOLER-EBOOKS has been phenomenal. We've always known that by building a
store that's easy to use, not tied to any one particular device, and has a
clear and transparent pricing model, we would attract readers of all types.
To date, though, our growth has exceeded even our most optimistic
projections, and we're thrilled to have partnered with OverDrive to expand
our offering."
Designed by readers, for readers, COOLER-EBOOKS accommodates 19 document
formats, the broadest range of formats on the web, including the ubiquitous
EPUB and PDF. In addition to books for sale, COOLER-EBOOKS offers almost half
a million free ebooks to UK consumers through a partnership with Google.
