Bookeen and Saraiva teams worked months to provide this full digital content solution with great e-readers. Both e-readers offer HD E Ink® displays and a fast new interface.

This announcement further strengthens Bookeen’s international strategy focused on delivering eReading on a global basis in combination with a strong content management. In late 2013 Bookeen already announced partnerships with Carrefour featuring its Nolim line and the retail chain Relay.

We are delighted to choose Bookeen as our partner, which is one of the most recognized companies in e-reading solutions and a pioneer in the e-reader field in Europe. We are sure that this partnership will provide the best technology to access our wide range of titles. The project is part of a Saraiva’s long term strategy to ensure customer access to digital content.”  

Michael Dahan, CEO at Bookeen: “We are delighted to partner with Saraiva, a true leader in reading. We brought our experience and technology in a very constructive collaboration. With this launch, I believe Saraiva provides the best e-reading solution on the market and Saraiva customers will discover in the stores how the Saraiva Lev offer is competitive.”
