This is a sponsored content from Okadabooks. Please read and respond: would you read books on mobile phones?The reading culture of Nigerians has been on a steady decline for some time now. The decline can be attributed to many factors from a tough economy to a general lack of reading interest in the younger generation. Some have even gone as far as blaming the poor reading culture on mobile devices.
Now there is a new app called okadabooks that is putting Nigerian books on mobile phones in a bid to get people to read on phones. The app has a diverse collection of books from Nigerian authors and even past WAEC/JAMB questions with answers.
This all sounds like a good idea, but the question is will Nigerians actually read and buy books on their phone and will students actually study with their phones. Check out the app HERE and let us know what you think about it and the Nigerian reading culture in general.

I am a proud “Okadabooks” fan and I totally enjoy reading on my phone…..but I really can’t speak for others. Its a great app though and the books are very affordable.
Someone once said to me that she’d easily read on a device with a large screen….tabs, ipads….all that stuff….than to read on her phone.
Odesh, I’m glad to hear that you’re a fan. I understand where your friend is coming from. I have a Samsung Galaxy S III phone which has a bigger than average screen, but I’ll only work on it when I have to.
Okada books are affordable, the app account is easy to recharge, what’s not to like? Plus my books are on there 🙂
Lol. Yeye girl. You’re just thinking about your books. SMH. Tehehe.
I think more Nigerians read more than they are given credit for. I have seen the unlikeliest people poring over the pages of a tattered book from market women to okada drivers to mechanics.
And yes, I think lots of people would read books on their mobile devices. I know a lot of Nigerians who do.
Cool! Well, I’m happy for the app.
Manny, good point, you are very correct.
If what is written is such that will capture people’s interest, people will definitely read books on mobile.
I downloaded it, and am enjoying it
Thanks for downloading. Enjoy! Content is definitely very important – whether on mobile or on print.
I think the issue was more about if Nigerians will read on their phones than it is about if they will read at all.
Yes, I would read books from a mobile device. Come to think of it, I think it’s a fabulous idea because for people like me who are inseparable from their cell phones, multitasking all day long, I’d rather go the ebook route. Plus I’m surrounded by medical and nursing staff all day at work so my smart phone is my only escape when I’m on break!. P.S. Vera, I really like the way you write your sponsored posts. It has Vera all over it 🙂
Awwwwwwwwwww! I read everything you said about reading on your mobile device, but I’m only going to concentrate on what you said about my sponsored posts. Woo hoo! Thank you, love. It means a lot honestly because I don’t want to alienate my readers with posts that don’t have my voice in it. So thanks a lot.
