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.
At the launch of Flipreads.com, Flipside had ninety (90) books distributed in the major e-bookstores (Amazon, Apple, BN.com), as well as Flipreads.com. To the best of our knowledge, this constituted the bulk of Filipino e-books distributed around the world. Interest and local activity was spurred then, and has since been slowly growing.
