Divii School was a start-up company which first focused on the conversion of paper textbooks to its own form of platform, DvBook, but now it has become a company which focuses on LMS and cloud sync service. Compared to already-existing e-book websites, such as Kyobo (a Korean publisher), Amazon, Yes24 (Korean publisher), 리디북스 (Korean …), and Naver N-Store (Korean…),, Divii School and its textbook platform DvBooks differs itself from already-existing companies by allows the users to search for live video examples from Youtube and dictionary definition search at once.

Establishment and Development
Subcommune, current Divii School’s parent company, was established by MinKyu Koo, the chief representative of cooperation in India, U.S., and Korea and started what now is called Divii School. After 1~2 gap years, Subcommune tried creating and expanding Divii Dictionary but failed, and then established and completed Divii School, a website which primarily focused on holistic development and distribution of e-textbooks. After that, Subcommune developed and entered the application market by launching applications both for Apple app store and Google Play store, and now it has successfully implemented LMS distribution and cloud sync service, so-called DvClass and DvNote.

Crowded as it is right now, the publishing & distributing market of textbooks is certainly a danger for anyone. Divii has made a number of alliances and partnerships with major publishing companies such as 천재교육 (a Korean ….), 다락원, but its size and revenue is not comparable compared to other publishing companies.

Its majority consists of a number of foreign language studies and prep materials for foreign language examinations such as, TOEIC, TOEFL, HSK, JLPT. The website is running primarily based on a freemium service structure, which shows the first few chapters for free when the user searches for books, and the rest is locked by the website for payment. Of course, the pricing is a lot more affordable compared to already-existing published textbooks, but it is not that attractive to use such service in countries such as Korea, India, and other nations.

Characteristics
Compared to existing e-books, Divii has implemented a vertical-scrolling system which suits the mobile/pc platform and maximizes the user’s accessibility. Previously existing e-books all required a supportable device and its own application to load their contents, which made many companies difficult to be used in many countries, but Divii has successfully resolved this issue by basing its service on an application and Website. It has successfully differentiated from other e-book services by making its service able to be used on a phone with Wi-fi and its application and on a computer screen with a computer and internet connection.
