Would You Read E-Books on Facebook?:
After Kno gave up on its textbook ereader earlier this year, it was left with a digital textbook software that had little distinction from others on the market. On Wednesday, it announced the first of its efforts to snazz up its platform — including a Facebook app.
The app gives readers access to their books through the social platform. Kno is the first of major players to offer such an app, but it’s done so in a rather underwhelming way. The Facebook app is essentially a version of the iPad app made accessible through Facebook, and both include a feature that allows readers to post directly to their walls from the text.
“I’d like to emphasize that this is a first step,” says Kno Vice President of Marketing Ousama Haffar.
