Product/Service Summary

How many times in life have we bought a book & left it after a few pages, ending up wasting our money Naturally, we choose bestsellers instead. As a result, new authors are left undiscovered! But what if, we could read a book by only paying for the pages we read and better still read books for Free! Still better, what if you could earn by reading?

Product/Service Descriptions

Qpeka Education

Students usually get a part of their academic book photocopied. At Qpeka they are able to read the same parts for a fraction of the cost from the comfort of their mobile phones, tabs and computer. The payments for students will be through a recharge based model similar to mobile recharges.

Free Books

At Qpeka, there are Free books which are ad supported. Part of the ad revenue is shared with the authors, part of it is converted into points for readers and the balance is retained by Qpeka

Premium Books

Premium Books are books which the publishers does not want to offer for free or on a per page payment system. In this case users need to pre-deposit points in order to be able to read the books. The points can either be earned by reading or purchased.
