Two "All you can read" services coming to the Netherlands |
05:44 AM by Katsunami in E-Book General | News Quick translation of part of the article: Two new subscription services for reading ebooks will be launched in the Netherlands later this year. The Danish Mofibo, and British Bookmate will both be targeting users reading books on mobile devices. Both services will be using an "all you can read" subscription, for which a set monthly fee needs to be paid. Users will not be paying per book. Mofibo has already started, and is asking 12,99 euro per month; early birds who decide this month will be paying 9,99 per month. It is not possible to use this service in combination with an e-reader. Bookmate will be starting in September, and will be asking €9,99 a month, for access to about 3500 Dutch books. This service has a catalogue of about 600.000 books, and has 2,5 million subscribers world-wide. Both services are using their own app; they will be competing with other services, such as Bruna's Bliyoo. |

NOOK US App Store Closing |
06:11 AM by zebradude in E-Book General | News Dear ZebraDude, We are writing to announce an upcoming change to your NOOK® service and to explain what it means for you. Effective March 15, 2016, NOOK will no longer offer third party applications (Apps) for sale from the NOOK Store™. All of your existing Apps previously purchased from the NOOK Store will remain in your NOOK Library™ and will continue to be accessible on compatible NOOK devices. This means that you will still be able to download and install previously purchased Apps from the NOOK Library on your device. You will also continue to be able to discover, purchase, and use third party applications from the wide selection available at the Google Play store on your compatible NOOK device. No action is necessary on your part, but should you have questions, please visit our FAQs page or contact us. Please note that our standalone NOOK Reading Apps for Android and iOS are not affected by this change and will remain available on Google Play and iTunes respectively. Of course, we will continue to offer our full service of books, magazines, and newspapers on both NOOK devices and our standalone Reading Apps, and look forward to bringing the best in digital reading to your NOOK experience. Sincerely, The NOOK Team
