MeraLibrary Offers Online Lending of eBooks.

MeraLibrary.com is an online digital library focusing on Indian language content. MeraLibrary is essentially a community marketplace where users can subscribe to content, rent out ebooks or purchase the ebooks outright, from the same platform. However, we observed that the site only offers rental, at the moment.

Currently, MeraLibrary provides an eBook reading experience on the website, however, it intends to launch its own application on Android and iOS Smartphones and Tablets. To read ebooks on MeraLibrary, users need to install the Adobe Flash Player plug-in on their browser. They need to register to the site and subscribe to suitable subscription option to browse through ebooks collection across various languages. One can rent the eBook and read the ebook online on their browser by hitting the read link.

Launched in July 2012, MeraLibrary offers ebooks in Indian languages including Kannada and Malayalam, along with English. It offers books in Fiction, Religion, Travel, Biography and Autobiography, Psychology, Drama, Technology, among others. Currently, MeraLibrary features books from public domain and does not have a very compelling catalog.
