Free Reading Zones (FREZ) is an initiative to spread reading in digital format beyond traditional libraries and physical institutions and to provide instant, unlimited, simultaneous, and free access to books and knowledge to people in areas predefined as FREZ. In other words, it is an attempt to turn public and private spaces and places into open virtual libraries for the sake of enabling reading, promoting literacy, and exposing books for discovery through strategic marketing. Readers in those areas need to download a free reading app-which identifies their location in several ways, for example, via GPS coordinates, Wi-Fi network, or an app store-allowing them to get free access to books in digital format while remaining physically inside the zone.
