It allows investors to get better buy and sell prices by allowing more control over the conditions under which their BTC are sold without having to always be watching the Bitcoin prices.

Paul Andreola, CEO of Brisio states: “We are excited to begin accelerating the monetization of the Good e-Reader Appstore by allowing app developers and publishers the option to receive and pay for services and products using Bitcoin and potentially other virtual currencies. We look forward to developing several other strategic initiatives with our new partners at Newnote.”

Their well-established Google Play alternative Appstore is an ideal platform for the integration of Bitcoin and AltCoin for both app purchases and in-app purchases.
