Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee's multilingual e-books are available on Amazon.com which is the world-leading online bookstore and iBookstore so that people can get them anytime anywhere. They can read the books on the screen of tech-gadgets like e-book readers, smart phones, and tablet PCs. The reader in the photo is reading the English version of The Message of the Cross in electronic format. The Message of the Cross has been published in 37 languages.


As smart phones, tablet PCs, and e-book readers become more and more popular, the way of reading has been changing. A growing number of people read e-books whose contents are in an electronic format instead of printed books.

E-books are portable as well as cheaper than paperbacks. They hold many advantages in that we can easily buy them on Internet bookstore anywhere anytime and we can read the books right away by downloading them. In the Korean book market, e-book sales have increased over time. With the huge success in sales of e-books that has been made by Amazon.com, the world-leading online bookstore, its market in the U.S. also has expanded.

Joining in the growing market, Urim Books of Manmin Central Church has produced e-book versions of Dr. Jaerock Lee's multilingual books and opened the door for digital publication in the media ministry. Currently, as of November 2012, there are 218 different volumes in 36 languages available in the e-book market out of its 81 books in Korean and 201 volumes in 44 other languages.

Korean editions in the electronic format are available at online Kyobo Bookstore, Interpark, iBookstore, Youngpoong Bookstore, Yes24, Aladdin, Libro Bookstore, and Bandi & Lunis. The books in multiple languages are available on the websites of Amazon.com, iBookstore, and Kyobo Bookstore. Kyobo Bookstore in particular is selling English, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese editions. Drawing increasing public attention are 60 volumes in seven languages on Amazon.com and on iBookstore there are 108 volumes in 20 languages available.

A representative of Urim Books in charge of e-book distribution said, "Many readers have shown positive response to our active e-book distribution via Amazon.com and iBookstore. The sales are on the rise and even overseas e-book publishers in USA and Taiwan are asking for cooperation with us."
Recently, iBookstore has been opened for iPhone and iPad users in 17 Central American countries like Mexico and down in New Zealand. This caused Urim Books to expand the e-book distribution network of the Portuguese and Spanish editions.

Urim Books will continue to publish and distribute more of Dr. Lee's e-books in more languages aimed at seven billion people all around the world.
