Happy to see a successor for the acquihired/killed Readmill. Readmill offered a ton of free (public domain) books, right after signup, allowing new users to try the app’s full reading/highlighting/sharing/commenting experience, before having them purchase books just to get a grasp of, say, the basic typographic look and feel. It drew me in, I bought some titles, and own the epub files still, even after Readmill went to the deadpool. What’s Glose’s offering as regards long-term preservation of my electronic library investment?
- julien_c 12y agoThanks for the feedback and great question. We're in the process of formalizing a statement in our Terms of service that will require us, should we go out of business one day, to let users download their purchased books to read off Glose. Also, fully agree with your feedback on public domain books! We have a pretty good selection of those and are working to expand it. We loved Readmill as well, and we want to build something even better and sustainable. Would love to hear more of your thoughts about this.
