About txtr
Berlin-based txtr was founded in 2008 and is a technology-led B2B company, that provides a global but locally relevant white-label eReading solution to retailers, device makers, mobile operators and our content partners.
The txtr solution offers an end-to-end eBook discovery, purchase, read and share consumer experience, built on a back-end platform with store, personal library storage and an extensive unique international eBook catalogue.
At txtr we do not believe digital text is the end of the book, but rather a new beginning. We believe in a world of expansive reading opportunities through digital access to the written word. This new world of digital reading needs to be shaped by people who love books.
