Curriculum #9: Book Rentals

Two reasons cited for why the average Malaysian reads so little is the high cost of books and poorly stocked libraries. Sivanathan Subramaniam wants to address this with Booku, an online platform he co-founded to facilitate book rentals. He explains how this could be a solution for avid readers with competing financial priorities, cash-strapped students with expensive textbooks to buy, and parents who would like to inculcate the love of reading in their children.
