I have a problem with books and reading them, and it lies in the fact that I do it on a variety of devices — iPad, iPhone and, sometimes, I can read on a PC. But how to make everything work like Amazon or iBooks? It turns out that we also have the opportunity to have a similar cloud storage of books, with synchronization and a huge selection of literature available as part of a tiny subscription fee the size of one coffee in a cafe.
Inside the Bookmate library there are tens of thousands of books that you can read by subscription, which costs 99 rubles/month or 999 rubles/year. There is a little ambush here — if you buy a subscription through the App Store, it will cost you $4.99. But why pay more? Pay on the website and get $3/month. After registration, you can search for the books you are interested in. For example:
Then the book gets into your library in one click. I'm not a big fan of hudlite, but I can say that I find 80% of the books I need in the Bookmate library.
If you haven't found the book you need, but somehow (bought or downloaded) it turned out to be locally in epub or fb*2 format, then you can upload it to your account for further reading.
The main yummy thing of the service for me is that on all the devices on which I have Bookmate installed, I have my entire library. And if I started reading a book at home on an iPad, then in the morning I can continue reading from the last sentence I read in the subway — as long as I have access to the Internet during the launch of the application. Notes and bookmarks are also synchronized via the cloud, which is very convenient if you write book reviews on your blog.
Books, of course, can be read without the Internet, if you have synchronized the library earlier.
The Friends section is well done in Bookmate. Just find who is on the service via Facebook* or Twitter and subscribe to its new products. I very often find interesting things from my acquaintances and friends.
Bookmate today works on all browsers (normal) and is available in a mobile version for iOS, Android and Windows Phone 7. So enjoy your reading!
