In recent years more and more Vietnamese have purchased tablets or e-readers. Many people, usually young readers, have developed a tendency to buy electronic books and magazines online and have them delivered on their device.
However, the number of copyrighted Vietnamese ebooks is still limited in the country.
Operating with a slogan: “To create a convenient and cheap knowledge space for Vietnamese”, Ybook aims to provide copyrighted ebooks to the a new generation of readers.
Currently Ybook has around 3,000 titles which are offered at prices 25-30 percent cheaper than printed versions.
YBook will be officially launched this September at an international book fair in Hanoi.
