    BOOKRABBIT.COM SIGNS PARTNERSHIP

    BookRabbit.com and ICUE allow consumers to preview and buy the latest books on their mobile devices

    *     ICUE providing first chapter of books directly to the mobile phones of consumers who have interacted with poster advertising 

    *     BookRabbit to provide the opportunity for consumers to buy the book from their mobile

    Chertsey - 16th May 2008 - BookRabbit.com, a brand new online bookshop that connects readers, authors and publishers through the books
that they own, announced today that it has entered into a partnership with ICUE, a leading provider of mobile services to the publishing
industry, to be the sole purchasing partner for the ICUE's 'first chapter previews' which sends chapter samplers directly to the mobile
phones of customers interacting with the poster advertising of a book.

    Publishers who partner with ICUE include a short phrase, keyword and short code on any advertising, such as outdoor posters, on books
they are promoting. For example a consumer might see:
    *     Text 'geri' to 64888 t o read an extract from Geri Halliwell's new book Ugenia Lavender
    *     Text 'moyles' to 64888 to read an extract from Chris Moyles new book The Difficult Second Book

    Once the free chapter has been downloaded onto the consumer's phone, they will then have the option to link directly to BookRabbit
(www.bookrabbit.com) to buy the book.

    Kieron Smith, managing director, BookRabbit, commented, "I'm extremely pleased that ICUE and BookRabbit can work together on this
project. We believe BookRabbit customers enjoy unearthing fantastic reads wherever they find them, and if we can help them find one and buy
it whilst they're waiting for the bus, then that's great."

    Whilst reading a book ICUE's system allows users to pause, rewind or fast forward, either one word at a time, by sentence, paragraph or
chapter. If the reader wishes to stop at any time or is interrupted by a call or text message the system automatically bookmarks the
position, and will resume in the same place when the application and book are re-opened.
