Germany is not only Poland’s largest neighbor, but also its main trade partner. “Our offer consists of merging a subscription-based model with the possibility to purchase and own ebooks, because a portion of the paid amount is deposited on users’ accounts in the form of an advance to use in future ebook purchases.” “The Chinese version of our service will be launched in early 2017. “Legimi is currently available in Poland, our domestic market,” Małaczyński tells Publishing Perspectives.
