Since the start of the e-book subscription service Kobo Plus about three months ago, the developers bol.com and Rakuten Kobo have seen a remarkable increase in users. The subscription which allows readers to read an unlimited amount of books from a selection of 80,000 e-books is especially popular among ´new´book readers.
– 20% had never bought a book (paper or digital) from bol.com;
– 40% had not previously bought a digital book from bol.com or Kobo;
– 10% had previously only bought one digital book per year, with Kobo Plus they read an average of 10 books.
These percentages show that Kobo Plus already has a new (digital) reader group and encourages the Dutch and Belgians to read more. These are people who previously didn´t read digitally or possibly illegally.

Laurel Brunner explains in her Verdigris blog that many of this awesome printed clothing is discarded quite quickly. The solution for this problem is, according to Laurel, apart from making consumers aware of this, the collecting of clothing which is no longer fashionable and recycling it in a responsible manner.

We denken er misschien niet over na, maar de onstuimige omzetgroei van digitaal bedrukt textiel heeft ook een keerzijde. Zoals Laurel Brunner uitlegt in haar Verdigris Blog eindigen veel fantastisch bedrukte kledingstukken steeds sneller in de vuilnisbak. De oplossing voor dit probleem is, volgens Laurel, naast het wijzen van consumenten op dit probleem, het inzamelen van niet meer in de mode zijnde kleding en die hergebruiken of op een verantwoorde wijze recycelen. Lees Laurels blog over dit probleem en de mogelijke oplossingen op onze artikelenpagina via deze link.
