Franklin is a world leader in electronic handheld information, having sold more than 40 million electronic books since 1986. Franklin’s unique strength is in compressing vast amounts of information, in a way that ‘the average person’ can access and understand.

Franklin’s current titles, available directly or through partners, number more than 52,000 in sixteen languages under license from world class publishers, such as Merriam-Webster and HarperCollins, focused in five genres: learning, language learning, travel, spiritual and leisure. Franklin also licenses its underlying technology to an array of partners including Adobe, Sun Microsystems and Ademco (a division of Honeywell).

Franklin Electronic Publishing provides scholarships for 10 lucky MS Readathon participants, each scholarship providing 12 months free tuition at their local Kip McGrath Education Centre. Franklin also provides valuable education rewards for the program, such as spellcheckers, for our participants.

Franklin's support of the MS Readathon is now in its 14th year, making Franklin the MS Readathon’s longest-serving sponsor. Thanks, Franklin, for your tremendous commitment to literacy for the kids of Australia, and to the MS Readathon!
