DALLAS, Oct. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Book.io is creating the new platform for digital ownership in book publishing by putting ebooks and audiobooks on the blockchain through their proprietary technology, Decentralized Encrypted Assets (DEAs).

For the first time, publishers and authors will be able to generate income from digital "used book" sales. Launching its first book sale on July 20th, 2022, the total volume of secondary market sales has already surpassed over half a million dollars, including the sale of a single collectible ebook at over $4,000. 

Key Points:

  • Their initial NFT ebook releases quickly sold out and generated hundreds of thousands of dollars in sales with an immediately active secondary market as well.
  • Book.io is the leading platform for NFT ebooks and digital content in the Web3 era.
  • Book.io is working diligently to build an ebook and audiobook marketplace, mobile reading apps, and a publishing portal for independent authors.
