Streetprint Manila is a research project that is part of a larger research endeavour called “Six Continents and Between”. Initiated by Prof. Gary Kelly of the University of Alberta, 6CAB seeks to investigate popular print culture across various geographical, sociocultural, and ethnolinguistic contexts. More specifically, it aims to look at reading patterns and preferences of the Filipino Everyman, or those whom we would largely consider members of the “masa” class.
What we do know is this: at least a cumulative total of 250 Filipino e-book titles, through Flipside’s publishing program, are now available on the major e-bookstores, as well as in US libraries through Overdrive, and through the subscription services Scribd and Oyster. Our local e-bookstore, Flipreads.com, now distributes around 1000 titles.
