The books come from renowned publishers such as Droemer Knaur, Bastei Lübbe, Aufbau, Dotbooks as well as self-publishers, which appear at tolino media.
This is the first time that Tolino has offered an ebook subscription program. It remains to be seen if they can garner market share, they do not seem to be promoting it strongly yet. This is primarily due to the fact that you purchase a subscription from individual retailers that belong to the Tolino Alliance; such as Hugendubel, Thalia and Weltbild.
