Select Fairmont Hotels in U.S. and Canada to Lend Guests Pre-Loaded Kobo eReaders

August 12, 2010 | By Admin In Technology |

There’s nothing like curling up with a good book when on vacation. Or in this case, if you happen to be in select Fairmont Hotels, the opportunity to curl up to a loaned Kobo eReader pre-loaded with Random House bestsellers. This special amenity is part of the personalized service of Fairmont’s President’s Club, a private, dedicated offering where guests can experience an exclusive oasis. The Kobo eReader comes pre-loaded with titles that include a variety of fiction and non-fiction eBooks by authors including Bret Easton Ellis, Sophie Kinsella and Alexander McCall Smith. Upon returning the eReader, guest will receive a discount coupon that can be used to receive $2 off select Random House titles. I’m excited about this offering as many on vacation would love to read and dragging a physical library can be like dragging bricks. I’m glad that Fairmont is taking such an initiative. Perhaps we shall see other hotels in the future offer something similar.
