16/5/2008 06:58 | ARGENTVIVE PLC BOOKRABBIT.COM SIGNS PARTNERSHIP BookRabbit.com and ICUE allow consumers to preview and buy the latest books on their mobile devices * ICUE providing first chapter of books directly to the mobile phones of consumers who have interacted with poster advertising * BookRabbit to provide the opportunity for consumers to buy the book from their mobile Chertsey - 16th May 2008 - BookRabbit.com, a brand new online bookshop that connects readers, authors and publishers through the books that they own, announced today that it has entered into a partnership with ICUE, a leading provider of mobile services to the publishing industry, to be the sole purchasing partner for the ICUE's 'first chapter previews' which sends chapter samplers directly to the mobile phones of customers interacting with the poster advertising of a book. Publishers who partner with ICUE include a short phrase, keyword and short code on any advertising, such as outdoor posters, on books they are promoting. For example a consumer might see: * Text 'geri' to 64888 t o read an extract from Geri Halliwell's new book Ugenia Lavender * Text 'moyles' to 64888 to read an extract from Chris Moyles new book The Difficult Second Book Once the free chapter has been downloaded onto the consumer's phone, they will then have the option to link directly to BookRabbit (www.bookrabbit.com) to buy the book. Kieron Smith, managing director, BookRabbit, commented, 'I'm extremely pleased that ICUE and BookRabbit can work together on this project. We believe BookRabbit customers enjoy unearthing fantastic reads wherever they find them, and if we can help them find one and buy it whilst they're waiting for the bus, then that's great.' Whilst reading a book ICUE's system allows users to pause, rewind or fast forward, either one word at a time, by sentence, paragraph or chapter. If the reader wishes to stop at any time or is interrupted by a call or text message the system automatically bookmarks the position, and will resume in the same place when the application and book are re-opened.

04/3/2008 08:49 | That is the big question... | jammy02 | |
03/3/2008 18:18 | If he buys us out what share price do you think he will offer ? | charlton1 | |
29/2/2008 15:16 | yeah, it would be .. take it off the mkt..get someone to buy it..i.e private equity or bring to market a few yrs later at a sig premium.. question is, what price will he pay at current levels.. saffy.. | safman | |
29/2/2008 15:03 | I think its more than likely to be the latter. He has brought some good companies together and would be able to drive it forward with more control and at a greater speed if it was run privately. Will be ineteresting to see where this one goes | jammy02 | |
29/2/2008 14:25 | yeah, have been looking at that.. would give me a decent return indeed, but it sound to me like either he has looked at mkt conditions, or got a great bunch of companies together and taken private would have a less impact to mkt turbulance..i.e. the share price . overall, not too sure on what denton wants to do.. saffy.. | safman | |
29/2/2008 14:17 | The board of ArgentVive, comprising the directors of ArgentVive except Charles Denton, Deputy Chairman (the "Board"), announces that it has received a request from Mr Denton, to allow him to explore the possibility of making an offer for the entire issued share capital of the Company.

IAF Securities Limited has today resigned as joint broker to the Company and will be acting for Mr Denton in connection with any offer. Further information will be provided to shareholders in due course. What happens now ???? | jammy02 | |
19/2/2008 09:17 | yep, certainly agree, perhaps a little biased being aholder, but with deals with amazon, ebay, and the integration and development of the new buisnesses, certainly a good medium-long term hold.. denton has also invested heavily in ARGV, most noteably 750K @ 50p.. good luck.. saffy.. | safman | |
19/2/2008 08:56 | I dont think anyone can argue with his past achievements and I have no doubt that he will take this company in the same direction as his previous one. Slight fall back in shares but very little activity latey...Good Medium to long term hold IMHO | jammy02 | |
14/2/2008 21:32 | Chris Evans highlighed some facts about Charles Denton bbc.co.uk/blogs/chri He refers to Denton's previous business Molton Brown which he picked up for £300,000 and sold for £172,000,000 I read somewhere that he wants to double or more that gain with Argentvive and he picked up Samedaybooks (renamed to Argentvive) for a similar (good value) sum. Quoting Chris Evans "I know it's not all about money but if I then tell you he went on to take over Great Ormond Street's fund raising duties and more than tripled the revenue to £81 million in two years, he sounds pretty neat doesn't he ?" | uumode | |
08/2/2008 12:14 | quiet on the ARGV front..eh... saffy.. | safman | |
23/1/2008 10:54 | Will be interesting to see what happens with this. Not sure it quite fits with what he has done so far...but of course. it may very well just be an investment. | jammy02 | |
