GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Gaza's first e-publishing house, Khota Books, sells both e-books and hard copies on its website from the comfort of readers' homes.

The publishing house was established by two young Gazans in August 2016 and offers both traditional and self-publishing. It initially published only local writers, but as of January 2018, it's acquiring reprint rights to works by international writers such as Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
