Readmoo電子書店（以下簡稱Readmoo）今日宣布與Trajectory Inc.（以下簡稱Trajectory）結盟，將Trajectory旗下世界經典圖文書作品引進Readmoo電子書店，並於即日起同步上架開賣。Readmoo不但是Trajectory在華文市場的第一個合作夥伴；這也是Trajectory旗下作品第一次登上華文電子書平台，與廣大華文讀者見面。

Readmoo總經理龐文真指出，雖然Readmoo在2012年秋天才陸續推出服務，但數月前就已開始積極拓展多元圖書來源，不但與 80 多家台灣出版社合作，也主動走出華文市場、接觸海外電子書內容提供商。

「這次同時引進Trajectory中文及英文圖文書，是華文電子書與世界接軌的重要里程碑，不但可增加Readmoo中文圖書的多元性，其英文圖文書也很適合正在學習英文的華文讀者。藉由Readmoo跨平台、裝置的特性，讀者也能更方便、輕鬆的閱讀與分享，」龐文真表示。

位於美國麻州（Massachusetts）的Trajectory，是一個專注於技術與市場行銷的電子書出版公司，目前已與歐美多位知名作家、藝術家及傳統出版商合作，其圖解名著的經典圖文小說系列，已累積超過 130 本作品，涵蓋包括《白雪公主》、《綠野仙蹤》、《哈姆雷特》等經典故事，並在包括亞馬遜（Amazon）、Kobo等多家電子書平台上架。

除了既有之英語市場外，近年來Trajectory亦積極向海外擴張，並已完成包括《海底兩萬哩》、《大戰火星人》等 8 本作品之中文化，並希望藉由與Readmoo的合作，直接切入華文電子書市場，擴展作品的全球曝光機會！
