Wiley joins Volow, Harriman House’s new eReader platform

29 February 2016 – Harriman House has announced that as of February 2016 a selection of Wiley financial books will be available to read on their eReader, Volow (volow.co).

Launched at the end of 2015, Volow is Harriman’s browser-based eBook reader and monthly subscription service.

Wiley and the Wiley logo are trademarks or registered trademarks of John Wiley & Sons, Inc. and/or its affiliates in the United States and other countries.

From this month, Volow will feature over 120 of Wiley’s top investing and trading books, including financial bestsellers such as The Warren Buffett Way, The Little Book that Beats the Market, Market Wizards and investment classics such as Reminiscences of a Stock Operator and Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits.

Talking about this development, Harriman’s MD, Myles Hunt says:

“We are absolutely delighted to have Wiley come onboard and believe that the addition of these high quality titles to Volow will really help to position it as the go-to place for all savvy investors and traders looking for both the very best stock market titles and a great reading experience.”

Volow offers customers the ability to buy individual books, or subscribe to collections of titles for a fixed monthly fee. No new apps or software are required, and users can use any device - phone, tablet, laptop or desktop. Everything is stored in the cloud so readers can log in and continue reading on any device at any time.

Being browser-based means that Volow eBooks can contain much more than just text. As well as high quality graphics they can also include video, audio, interactive content and links to relevant content online – and all of it just works, no upgrades or new software required. As it develops further it will also allow customers to interact with each other and authors and add their own material to the books they are reading.

Talking about the thinking behind Volow, Harriman’s MD, Myles Hunt says:

“In the increasingly competitive trading environment we find ourselves in, our ambition is to create a new and independent channel to market for all financial publishers, whilst offering our customers a more curated and tailored service at the same time.

Volow not only offers a subscription access model which makes perfect sense in the non- fiction space, but also the opportunity to do more than simply replicate a version of the print book online, to create something tailored to digital reading, and do so via a web browser which is the way most people now consume content.

We’re really excited about the potential for Volow and have big plans for the year ahead and we’re thrilled to have publishers like Wiley sharing our vision and joining us.”

With Wiley onboard, Harriman is working to partner with other publishers and providers of investing and trading materials to further strengthen Volow’s offering.
