Paperight is doing some great work in the industry and the team at http://www.Realmdigital.co.za are so thrilled to be working with them

Our sister company http://www.snapplify.com was also present and exhibited at Frankfurt this year as well as last year. Snapplify enables publishers to sell their content via Mobile Apps. More international publishers are embracing digital and mobile distribution solutions and we have seen this in terms of Digital Book Apps, Digital Newspaper App and Digital Magazine Apps.

Tech emerging out of Africa for publishers is huge!

The act of reading self-published books is akin to having to smell other people’s unwashed (read unedited) underwear.
