Sri Lanka's first web-based advertiser, Z-World, this week launched "Z-Library", an online library offering a range of books, magazines, and other reading material by local authors.

Z-Library (available on www.thezworld.com) allows users to either download a PDF version of their favorite book or magazine, or make an order online for a hard copy of the product.

The library currently contains three books of Carl Muller's collection. The first chapter of each book will be available for download free of charge. The works of more authors and locally-published magazines will be added in due course, according to a company press release.

Z-Library is the latest addition to Z-World's portfolio of viral marketing services which include Z-Mail and Z-Entertainment, the most popular services.
