Tapping Into the Growing Digital Book Market
LONDON, August 5, 2010 - Hot on the heels of the world's leading booksellers Amazon and
Barnes & Noble launching Android Book Stores, digital book service provider
Mobcast Services Ltd has added a new dimension to the emerging ebook market.
Mobcast are enabling mobile operators to sell thousands of best-selling books
to their Android and smart phone customers, billed directly to their mobile
phone account.
T-Mobile UK & Orange UK are the first operators taking
advantage of the latest version of the Mobcast digital book platform. The
operator-branded stores allow book lovers to browse, sample and buy ebooks &
audiobooks from the world's biggest authors.
Mobcast CEO Tony Lynch said: "After developing this platform
for two years we know from our own customer data that they love reading books
on their mobile phone and a large percentage go on to purchase multiple books
per month. The majority of our revenue comes from repeat customers. The
latest version of the Mobcast platform allows the operators to offer a full
book shop experience to millions of their book loving customers."
The Mobcast platform is capable of delivering books across
multiple devices including mobile, PC's, eReader's and Android devices, with
iPhone and iPad support to follow later this year. Mobcast expect to be
launching similar platforms with international retailers and operators over
the coming months.
