Today I came upon, via my RSS feed,
an article provided by Mashable referring to five new startups which are trying
to improve e-reading experience.
As I am a fan of new technology and
dedicated user of new applications which make our lives easier, meaningful and
fill them with fun, I decided to share with you these new applications, this
new knowledge that I acquired in the field of reading/studying books.
Is an application for reading books
on phone. Members will receive unlimited access to an ever-growing collection
of books for a single monthly price. The founder indicates that the process of finding
your next book is very different from purchasing a knife, and it should be
treated that way.
It builds a service to share ebooks
across devices and offers users a simple way to store and share ebooks in the
cloud, the opportunity to create their virtual bookshelf, browse friends’
shelves, borrow and loan ebooks and access their shelf anywhere.
Aaron Stanton describes this new
application as follows: “Imagine a game where you-the reader-are the main
character, and every book you read earns you points and rewards. The Game of
Book is a game for adventurous readers where the books you read earn you points
based on what they are about”.
Is expected to be the future of
digital publishing. This platform lets authors to create content, explores new
forms of revenue generation and increases user engagement.
It offers a detailed database of the
characters, places and items mentioned in thousands of books. Users can
discover everywhere a book can take them.
