Field notes
The site organizes its offer into three 200-title selections, with filters and author links intended to let visitors inspect a collection before purchase. Payment is described as a one-time 2,000 FCFA transaction through KKiaPay, followed by a ZIP download available for seven days. The files are EPUBs rather than a locked reader experience, so the stated workflow is to extract them and transfer them to a compatible reading app or ereader.
