... initially focusing providing academic textbooks and business books for the Danish market. The business model was simple: provide free e-books and pay for them by embedding advertising every three to five pages in the book. The two had previously worked on the launch of the free newspaper METRO in the Danish market and were confident it could work.

Publishing Perspectives

... initially focused on providing academic textbooks and business books for the Danish market. Bookboon followed a very simple[citation needed] business model by providing free eBooks and paying for them by embedding advertising every three to five pages in the book. The Madsen brothers had previously worked on the launch of a free newspaper called METRO in Denmark and were confident enough that the model would work. Sales teams were established across Europe and succeeded in attracting advertisers keen on reaching students.

Promoting ad ?[edit]

'Fake' references 14 and 15[edit]

I am about to remove these two links as they have slipped in, the first last September and the second in February. Looking at the two sites reveal marked similarities, but neither take a similar stance as Bookboon. I test downloaded a book from both sites, and they use Google drive to store their volumes, and both that I tried had been converted from pdf to epub using Calibre—very easy to check by looking inside the file. It seems clear from even a surface glance that these links are not legitimate.

If further evidence of their relationship was needed, checking the IP address of the 'two' servers reveals both to be resolving to the same address. Geoff Riley (talk) 01:50, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
