Innovation With Purpose

Kelo is Africa’s first all-in-one interactive digital library and bookstore giving you access to an extensive collection of African and international titles on print and digital for purchase or rental.

Opening The World With #TheSmartRead

#TheSmartRead Community is an inclusive market place for readers, publishers, authors and institutions across the continent and the world.

We have gone to great lengths to prevent file sharing and tampering of any kind and ensure your copyright and IP is protected at all times and that you get a fair share of the revenue.

Security and Content Protection

Books are stored in our app’s cache memory and never downloaded directly onto the user’s storage which means it can never be shared or opened outside the Kelo app.

Kelo Self-Publishing

Don’t settle for a slice when you can have the bulk of the pie, at Kelo we only retain 25% of the retail price on all products and the rest of the 75% gets passed on to the publisher / author.
