NAVER, Korea’s top search portal and a global leader in mobile services and apps, launched the NAVER Webtoon service on June 23, 2004.
With its launch, NAVER introduced the popular “daily system” to provide daily updates to its webtoons regularly with new content scheduled to be revealed through the service every day of the week. With more than 6.2 million daily users on average in Korea, an average of 17 million monthly users is using the NAVER Webtoon service. Over the past decade, NAVER Webtoon strips received more than 29 billion accumulated hits.
Moreover, the webtoon service is expected to further contribute to other industries. KT’s research arm DIGIECO, one of the major economics research institutes in Korea, forecasted that Korea’s webtoon market will increase to 300 billion won ($295 million) in 2015, compared to 100 billion won ($98.5 million) in 2012 and 210 billion won ($268 million) in 2014. Based on the webtoon service’s remarkable success and growth potential in global markets, NAVER initiated its service in the U.S and worldwide and launched its website and app as LINE Webtoon.

It launched the English version last year. It's free to read (both the English and Korean version). It makes money through advertisements.

Tower of God is probably one of the best comics of all time. If you read just one webtoon from there, read that.
As for relation to ebooks, web comics is a form of digital books. So I hope this post can stay in this forum.
