Orange and books

Orange supports the book business as it continues its digital development.


As such, Orange is developing an innovative range of services inspired by the Read and Go platform (an e-Reader service for publications, books, comic books), and is experimenting with new reading and writing tools by offering users community-based platforms (Lecteurs.com) and transmedia storytelling (Fanfan2).

In 2009, Orange also launched the French Prix orange du livre chaired by Erik Orsenna, whilst a similar Armenian language prize launched by Orange Armenia in 2011.

Furthermore, Orange initiated the MO3T open distribution project for e-books using the most open model possible, and created a consortium with all players in the chain: telecoms operators, publishers, bookshops, specialist companies, and so on.

Lastly, in partnership with the National Library of France and the Voltaire Foundation, Orange is launching a collection of web- and tablet-enhanced books, with the first publication being a digitally-enhanced version of Voltaire’s Candide.
