These are the figures which were presented at the first edition of the Italian e-book Lab, the numbers which makes Biblet Store’s selection the richest in . Great results, coming just five months after the platform was set up, which confirm the validity of the strategy adopted by Telecom Italia in their bid to become a player in the digital publishing industry, bringing new momentum to the market.

Biblet Store’s e-books can be read on any normal PC as well as on Olivetti’s Olipad, the first Italian tablet PC which will soon be available on the market and has the “Biblet App” pre-installed for easy access and browsing in the virtual shop. For all other system which us the Android operating system the application needed to download e-books form biblet.it is already available from Android Market.
