Kbuuk offers independent authors intuitive tools to help them easily and conveniently create, distribute and refine ebooks using simple and intuitive software. By integrating iReach, authors can market their ebooks by sending releases announcing their availability, where to buy, updated editions, and more.  

iReach leverages PR Newswire's unparalleled online footprint, syndicating users' content to over 1,000 websites, to many of the largest social networks such as Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn, and improves content discoverability on search engines including Yahoo!, Google and Bing.  By using iReach, content is automatically posted to PRNewswire.com, the industry's most trafficked website, and is easily shared further through an embedded social media toolbar.

"Ebook self-publishing will usher in a new renaissance of sharing the written word just like the Gutenberg press did over 500 years ago," said Isaac Shi, CEO of Kbuuk. "Kbuuk is intended to lower barriers to entry that authors may face during the book publishing and distribution process.  A partnership with PR Newswire strengthens our platform, enables authors to promote their work to a broad network and we're excited to have iReach as the first enterprise app within the online publishing industry's first Enterprise App Store."

Authors can access iReach via Kbuuk's "Authors' App Store," http://kbuuk.com/app/8/pr-newswire-ireach-press-release.shtml.
