Fictionwise.com is one of the top eBook retailers in the world. We've sold hundreds of thousands of eBooks to tens of thousands of customers. We know how to deliver eBooks to the reading public in a convenient, user-friendly way.
Now Fictionwise.com brings that experience to the world of eBook borrowing with a new product offering for libraries: Libwise.
Libwise provides a complete, turnkey eBook loaning solution that integrates with your existing OPAC and provides a web site branded with your library name and logo. Fictionwise provides complete hosting and customer technical support, allowing your staff to concentrate on title selection. Libwise also provides complete administrative control and comprehensive reports for library staff, so they can fine tune how the site works and understand which titles are most in demand by their own patrons.
This Libwise-hosted site allows your patrons to download eBooks to either a PC or any popular handheld device for convenient offline reading.
Libwise is unique in that it allows you to tap into a powerful Inter-Library-Loan Network that spans the entire world. This allows you to leverage your investment in titles for your library's catalog.
Thousands of titles are available, with many thousands more coming over the following quarters. Unlike most solutions in the market, the Fictionwise solution provides both fiction and nonfiction as well as reference materials. (Most other solutions provide primarily reference and academic material.)
All of this is provided for a monthly service fee that's about the same as many cell phone plans, and eBooks are purchased not at a premium to list price as in some other products, but rather at retail or even a discount to retail price under some plans.
