Corporate E-book Subscription Service "Sharelot" Surpasses 13,600 Titles and 75 Partner Publishers!

MOCHI Inc. (Headquarters: Sumida-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Ryota Toeda), provider of the corporate e-book subscription service "Sharelot" (https://sharelot.jp/), is pleased to announce that as of July 2026, the service has surpassed 75 partner publishers and 13,600 distributed content titles.

In the six months since announcing 10,000 titles in January 2026, we have expanded our lineup by 3,600 books. We sincerely thank our partner publishers for providing valuable books that meet the diverse needs of our corporate clients and for co-creating "a new form of reading" with us.

Background of Growth: Resonance with a "Fair Revenue Model" Solving Publishing Industry Challenges

Currently, new publishers are constantly joining Sharelot every month. We believe the background to this continuous growth lies in the resonance with our proposed "development of a new market with no risk for publishers" and "a fair revenue system."

While the situation where multiple people "pass around" physical business and practical books within a company is a wonderful form of knowledge sharing, it has also meant an opportunity loss for publishers and authors, generating revenue for only one copy regardless of how many people read it.

By digitizing and platformizing "corporate book management," Sharelot has established a system that allows us to pay appropriate royalties that publishers can agree with. It is a "sustainable business model that balances social value and economic rationality," and we have received support from 75 publishers to date.

Furthermore, by providing e-books in the closed environment of a company, we are creating "new points of contact with customers" where business professionals who might not have visited bookstores can discover works. This is also highly anticipated by many of our partners.

【Evaluation and Comments from Partner Publishers (Examples)】

"The concept and overall design are very attractive. The Sharelot system feels fair."

"We resonate with the stance of wanting to achieve both 'books as social value' and 'economic rationality.'"

"It's a logical system that fills the gap of areas where money didn't previously occur (internal corporate sharing). It's a platform that makes us want to cooperate, with minimal risk for publishers as it only requires data delivery."

"We resonate with the worldview, goals, and significance of Sharelot. We definitely want to help."

13,600 Titles in Lineup: Rapid Expansion as "Intellectual Infrastructure" for Corporations

Through partnerships with 75 publishers, Sharelot's lineup continues to expand broadly, from specialized books to practical guides. To meet the various needs of our corporate clients, we are developing a rich category of content, focusing on the following genres (some genre overlap exists):

Business, Management, IT (approx. 4,000 titles):

Business and economics, investment and finance, computers and IT, etc. A collection of specialized books directly related to corporate DX promotion and management training.

Hobbies, Practical, Lifestyle (approx. 8,000 titles):

Hobbies and practical guides, lifestyle and parenting, etc. A collection of practical books supporting employee well-being and benefits during remote work.

Culture and Others (approx. 3,000 titles):

Humanities and philosophy, literature and criticism, picture books and children's books, etc. Liberal arts related books that cultivate multifaceted thinking skills for business professionals.

*Visualization of reading trends based on actual reading logs within Sharelot, and genre-specific book rankings are published on the special site for the "Corporate Book Award 2025" (https://sharelot.jp/corporate-book-award/2025).

Future Outlook: Responding to Customer Needs and Continuous Contribution to the Publishing Ecosystem

Under the mission "Co-creating the Future of Books," Sharelot will continue to operate its service based on an equal and fair partnership with publishers.

We aim to expand content numbers at a pace that doubles every year, while quickly responding to diverse requests from client companies, including "business books" and "qualification/IT books." By further accelerating the spread of Sharelot in the corporate market, we will maximize the revenue returned to publishers and authors who create high-quality content, contributing to the sustainable development of the entire publishing industry.

For Publishers Considering a Partnership

Sharelot is continuously recruiting publishers interested in joining our service.

Participation involves no risk, as it can be started with simple data delivery, and it creates "new points of contact with customers" in the corporate market, which has been difficult to approach, and realizes "appropriate profit distribution."

Why Sharelot is Necessary Now

The business environment is undergoing significant changes due to the evolution of generative AI and the spread of online learning. While information is instantly available, the importance of dialogue and deep discussion among employees, as well as uniquely human abilities such as "interpretation skills" and "empathy," is increasing.
