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 start in september en rekent 9,99 euro voor toegang tot momenteel 3500 Nederlandse boeken. De dienst heeft een totale catalogus van 600.000 boeken en wereldwijd 2,5 miljoen lezers. Beide diensten maken gebruik van een eigen app, waarin boeken gelezen kunnen worden. Zij concurreren onder andere met diensten als Bliyoo van boekenwinkel Bruna.
