Seattle, WA & Chatham, NJ – April 24, 2001 – Versaly Games, Inc., a privately owned Seattle-based publisher and distributor of interactive games and entertaining content to mobile phones, today announced it has partnered with New Jersey-based Fictionwise.com, a leading independent eBook seller, to allow Versaly subscribers to download short fiction eBooks to their mobile phones.

Versaly has become an Affiliate Partner of Fictionwise and paid subscribers will have access to the Fictionwise library of eBooks from the Versaly website and next generation mobile phones, including the "Stinger" smartphone from Microsoft.

Versaly will securely distribute Fictionwise eBooks over the global 3G wireless telecommunications network to their subscribers.

Versaly is working hard to provide our subscribers with as much quality content as possible to maximize the mobile phone entertainment experience. We realize the quality of our content is our advantage. Both daily commuters and weekend campers will enjoy this," said Matthew Feldman, Versaly's President and CEO.
