Check out what the press have said about Worldreader Mobile:

“Books like Pride and Prejudice and A Tale Of Two Cities are at the fingertips of thousands of kids who would have never had the opportunity to read them before, and Worldreader wants that to grow quickly. Along with books, the organization has put educational information about HIV/AIDS and malaria, instantly turning the device into a life-saver as well as a learning tool.” - TechCrunch

“Worldreader is making digital books for early readers available on smartphones in Indian languages such as Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Marathi, Punjabi and Kannada.” - The Hindu

“Since 2010, the non-profit organization Worldreader has provided school children in a number of developing countries with access to digital books through donated Kindle e-readers. Recently, it has begun to publish the books via a mobile phone-based e-reader.” - BBC

“Worldreader Mobile is a book reading application that allows millions of people in the developing world to have access to books they need and want to read on a device they already own: their mobile phone.” - Techloy

“It's convenient, after all, since phones are often right there, and it's extremely cheap: a 500-page book can be delivered for pennies' worth of data.” - NBC News

“In August and September, over 50,000 people used Worldreader Mobile to read information about Ebola provided by the Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organization. “ - allAfrica

“It is not hyperbole to suggest that if every person on the planet understood that his or her mobile phone could be transformed – easily and cheaply – into a library brimming with books, access to text would cease to be such a daunting hurdle to literacy.” - The Guardian
