Sainsbury's is likely the only big grocery store that also has a very healthy eBook ecosystem. They are one of the most prominent companies in the UK and they have just ironed out a new agreement with Penguin to give away two million eBooks for free.

At the time, Anobii had 600,000 users worldwide and a library of 60,000 ebooks. Books for cereal? Sounds like a square deal, the company better be prepared to give a lot away. Last year, they sold over six million boxes. Sainsbury’s to give away 2 Million Free eBooks is a post from: E-Reader News |
