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.
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.
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.
Every month we have a different theme where we celebrate and highlight different issues, conversations and books including politics, history, education and current affairs.
