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.
