East African Educational Publishers (EAEP) has signed a major partnership with the Google Books Publisher Partner Program to make its books available online. This partnership will see thousands of titles published by EAEP digitized and indexed on Google’s search engine in the next several months.
The texts of EAEP books in English, Swahili and other African languages will soon be accessible and discoverable online via Google Book Search, a tool from Google that searches the full text of books stored in Google’s digital database. Clicking a result from this search tool opens an interface in which the user may preview sample pages from the book as well as links to the publisher’s website and other online booksellers.
"As Africa’s publishing arena embraces digitization and e-marketing, East African Educational Publishers has been at the fore front. We started by availing our books for sale online via our website. Our partnership with Google showcases our desire to explore new opportunities provided by modern technology. Through Google Book Search, East African Educational Publishers will touch base with millions of African Internet users every day, as well as Google’s hundreds of millions of daily users worldwide. We welcome the world to sample Africa’s writing!” says Kiarie Kamau, the EAEP General Manager in charge of the General Publishing division.
