Bookmate is a subscription based
social e-reading service with offices in London, Moscow, and Singapore. With

social reading service is available across all mobile, tablet, and online

The service has just announced the
expansion of its English language eBook selection following a surge of deals with
leading eBook publishers in the UK and the USA. Bookmate now offers more than 200,000 English language titles. Authors represented include
Anthony Burgess, Alan Bennett, Mary Beard, David Peace, and C.S. Lewis.
Simon Dunlop, co-founder of Bookmate,
commented: “English is the world’s most widely spoken language and a second
language for many more people. Bookmate is strengthening its catalogue of
English titles for these readers and these latest deals have brought many
exciting authors to the service, continuing our trend of connecting readers
with great books as we roll out to new markets this year.”
Bookmate is an open platform
connecting publishers and readers directly. This means that authors listed on
Bookmate can discover who is reading their books and access analytics to aid their own promotion and marketing efforts – authors in Asia take
note!
