I’ve blogged about this concept before but this one’s a bit different. In this case you send an image of the book’s cover and the copyright page with “an ownership mark” and the publisher gives, or sells, you the eBook version.
BitLit is the solution for readers who love both print and digital books, publishers who want to re-connect with their readers, and traditional booksellers who want to offer their customers digital books.
BitLit is a smartphone app that allows readers to claim free or discounted eBook editions of their print books. Through print and digital book bundling, BitLit allows readers, publishers, authors, and bookstores to connect with each other about the books they love.
