Total Boox, a new e-book service for libraries, offers over 50,000 titles in multiple language from reputable publishers, such as Berlitz, Sourcebooks, O'Reilly, Workman, and de Gruyter. Libraries pay only for pages read, so you can expand your collection and serve parts of your community you cannot now reach, all while controlling your costs and staying within a fixed budget.
