eBook Reader Application

The Islamic Development Bank Institute (IsDBI) launched in January 2022 a new eBook Reader Application dedicated to publications in Islamic economics and development.

The app was developed in partnership with a technology firm, Koraspond Digital Marketing Agency, a subsidiary of Ethmar Advertising company based in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Leveraging innovative modern technologies and the Institute’s long-standing expertise in publishing of Islamic economics, the app aims to serve as a knowledge repository where users around the world can have a rich experience of reading and browsing Islamic economics and finance publications.

With support for Arabic, English and French languages, the new app is a comprehensive, user-friendly mobile application currently available through the Apple Store and Google Play. A version for desktop is expected to be ready later in 2022.

The app has been integrated to the IsDB Institute website, thereby allowing users to purchase publications from the website, and download and read them on the e-book reader app on their devices.

Various innovative features can be seen in the app including:

• Standard reading tools such as bookmarking, search, text highlight, in-built dictionary, ability to attach notes to selected text, and more.
• Fresh interface design that enhances the user experience.
• Sharing eBooks titles and quotes through all social media channels.
• Ability to track user reading activity such as the number of books read, number of hours of reading, reading speed, and number of shared eBooks.
• eBooks are encrypted to prevent sharing, copying, and distribution.
• Synchronization across the user’s devices.
• App interface available in Arabic, English, and French languages.
