NFTBOOKS cultivates a reading culture and says no to pirated books.
Reading culture is currently an issue appealing to the attention of the whole society. Especially, in the context of integration and development, the reading culture has opened up a lot of new opportunities as well as difficulties and challenges.
Therefore, the question is how to nurture a passion for reading and preserve the value of books while preventing the issues related to pirated and uncopyrighted books. NFTBooks was born and pioneered in building a platform that integrates e-books and blockchain technology to answer these common questions of the whole society.
It can be said that NFTBOOKS is a humanity project when creating a platform for publishing each book as an NFT, with the goal of bringing copyrighted books at a reasonable cost to book nerds all around the world. It would be no exaggeration to say that NFTBOOKS has placed the first bricks of the e-book publishing industry combined with blockchain technology.
Amid the development of social networks, people seem to only focus on smartphones and computers to search Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, and forget to read books. However, since the pandemic occurred, reading habits have increased. According to the Global Reading Habits In 2020 study (published on the Princh Library Blog), “There are 35% of people said they read more this year due to the pandemic”. That is a good sign. However, the pandemic has led to the stagnation of the economy, many people are caught short, especially in underdeveloped countries. So where do they get money to buy books to read? Low-cost e-books are the most effective and economical solution to meet everyone’s reading needs.
In addition, rampant pirated books on the market are also raising alarm bells, threatening the rights of the author as well as the potential risk of transmitting inaccurate content. Many publishers have suffered because of this social evil. The phrase “pirated book”, “copyright infringement” became the topic of media discussion. Hundreds of writers and book critics urge readers to boycott and say no to pirated books.
Sharing about this project, the founders have not hidden their ambition to bring to a “virtual” market and platform for authors to self-publish books, directly reaching people, eliminating all the intermediary processes, as well as contributing to reducing the price of books. From then, readers can access copyrighted books at the cheapest cost. In particular, NFT on blockchain will help almost eliminate 99% of book piracy that is very common today.
NFTBOOKS has a lot of books, magazines, newspapers with many genres. Readers will only need to spend a lower cost compared to printed books to be able to read a copyrighted book. They can also rent back books from repurchasers at a cheaper price. With a mission to foster a reading culture for people around the world, NFTBOOKS is expected to transform the world of book-reading, making it become more affordable and more accessible to many people.
