Readers should own the digital goods the eBooks and Audiobooks they buy. BOOK.io, harnessing the power of the blockchain as our backbone, is creating a marketplace and platform that will forever change digital reading. For the first time, readers can buy eBooks and Audiobooks and sell their books on a global secondary market. Publishers and authors, equipped with smart contracts, will earn industry-high royalties for first-time sales, and royalties on secondary sales in perpetuity. The golden age of books is here!
