Reeda is on a mission to transform how students across Africa access academic knowledge. We believe every student—regardless of background or institution—should have affordable, easy, and legal access to the textbooks and journals they need to succeed.
In many African tertiary institutions, it’s common practice for lecturers to author and prescribe their own self-published textbooks. However, the high cost of printing, limited distribution, and lack of digital alternatives often leave students without access—forcing many to resort to photocopies or go without. This not only limits learning but also penalizes those who can’t afford the required books.
Reeda is changing that.
We provide a digital-first platform where students can buy or borrow academic books and journals at a fraction of the traditional cost. With our mobile app, learners can explore a vast and growing library of resources from expert authors and professors, not just from their school—but from institutions across Africa and the world.
Our solution is simple yet powerful: we digitize academic content, enable flexible pricing models (including affordable rentals), and make it all accessible through an intuitive reading platform designed specifically for students. Features like highlighting, note-taking, and cross-referencing are built in to support deeper engagement and better academic performance.
Reeda also empowers authors and publishers. Academic professionals can now publish once and reach thousands of students across borders without the cost of printing or the headache of distribution. We also handle local payment processing, so authors can earn passive income while building their influence in the academic community.
We’re not just a book app—we’re a movement to democratize access to knowledge.
Whether you're a student trying to keep up with required texts, or a lecturer looking to reach a broader academic audience, Reeda is here for you. We're building the future of academic publishing in Africa—one digital book at a time.
