Why pay for your educational books where there is this Bookboon.com online and who can find a place in the world without the internet in the 21 century!
IBNA: Based in London, Bookboon.com was created in 2005 and is a free eBook publisher with more than 500 PDF volumes in their collection for students (engineering, IT and business + career tips) and business professionals (career tips, stress and risk management, marketing...).
The reason these books are free (financed through a few adverts) is that they believe that textbooks don't need to be costly.
The textbook authors are all university professors from all over the world and their business book authors are consultants and experts in their fields.
All the books are written for the website and need to premium membership or payrolls. The costs of the books are financed by the occasional in-book adverts. The adverts that are placed in the books follow ethical guidelines: only recruitment and employer branding ads.
Despite focusing on a UK and US, there are language options for a descent number of countries and no restriction for downloading from any country, reported BBC.
Bookboon has partnerships with websites such as Financial Times in Germany, Politiken in Denmark and Volkskrant in Holland and is always looking for new interesting partnerships.
Some of their clients are Microsoft, Deloitte, KPMG, and they advertise with Bookboon to get through to their target group.
