Vook was founded in 2009 on the cusp of a digital revolution in book publishing.
Since then, ebooks have become a significant and permanent fixture of the marketplace. All digital revolutions are characterized by the speed and rapacity by which they upend analog models, and ebooks are no exception. As this happens, traditional structures get reorganized - in this case the structure between author, publisher, and reader - and opportunities emerge for new business models, services, and most importantly, creative endeavors.
