Coronavirus: Publishers Launch Site To Help Readers And Publishers

Text by: RFI Follow

The digital broadcaster e-Dantès is launching a digital site with 14 publishers. Confinementlecture.com has a double objective: to offer registered readers free online books, but also paid books at promotional rates to support the publishing world hard hit by the coronavirus crisis.

Publicity

For the e-Dantès broadcaster, the time is no longer a quarrel between paper and digital. The objective would rather be to maintain an offer and reading habits at the time of the collapse of paper book sales with the closing of bookstores. Thus was born the confinementlecture.com website.

Registration is free. Today, more than 30,000 people have joined it. They thus benefit each morning from their mailbox from a choice of free books to download. They can also buy other works at promotional rates. For example, science fiction books are offered at half price; Charleston editions offer three digital books for the price of two. Because, beyond supporting readers confined to their homes, the objective is also to commercially support publishers hard hit by the epidemic. To date, the distributor has reported a 25% increase in turnover.

Novels, science fiction, personal development ... anything that allows you to escape the anxiety-provoking climate is on the rise. And this offer from the digital distributor e-Dantès via the confinementlecture.com site, valid until March 29, will most likely be extended.
