INTEREAD AND D&H SIGN DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT FOR COOL-ER™ EBOOK READERS

Interead appoints D&H as its strategic wholesale distribution partner in the USA and Canada for its COOL-ER eReaders

Reading, UK and Harrisburg, PA—February 25, 2010 - D&H Distributing Co., the major North American computer products and consumer electronics distributor, today announced it has entered into an agreement with Interead Ltd, makers of the light and trendy COOL-ER line of electronic book readers for wholesale distribution of the product across North America.

Currently one of the hottest digital consumer electronics categories, the eReader market is expected to grow from $1.3 billion in revenue in 2010 to $2.5 billion by 2013, according to a recent report from Yankee Group (www.yankeegroup.com).

COOL-ER, first launched worldwide in May 2009, comes in ten eye-catching colors and supports eBooks written in English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Russian, Japanese and Traditional and Simplified Chinese. Books from COOL-ER’s companion online bookstore, WWW.COOLERBOOKS.com, can be shared with up to five other readers to let friends and families share the works they love. Weighing in at only 5.6 ounces—less than a paperback—COOL-ER supports books in all of the most commonly used eBook file formats including ePUB and PDF.

“We believe the COOL-ER will have a wide appeal to many of our education and digital lifestyle-focused retail customers,” said Rob Eby, vice president of purchasing at D&H. “This is an engaging brand that differentiates itself with a range of colors and a stylish footprint. We’re happy to support Interead’s eReader technology, especially in light of the huge industry buzz this category has commanded in the past year.”

Neil Jones, Interead CEO, commented: “We are thrilled to be working with D&H as our strategic wholesale distribution partner. Their presence and record of success, particularly in the Education market, is crucial to our continued market expansion, as we anticipate great demand from this high double-digit growth category.”
