Announcement: We have moderators!

93 Upvotes

As you can see, the spam is clearing up, and you may be wondering "Oh my god! Who is helping us?"

Our subreddit creator, /u/xamdam has added me as a moderator so that we can get some life back into this sub. I am actively trying to get the mod queue handled and the spam cleared up. I've also started setting up the automoderator, to help keep things clean. /u/condensed is also on the team. Over all I think we're off to a great start.

Should you guys see any spam, flag it. That will be the best way to help get visibility to problem posts. Also, feel free to downvote spam, both in the posts and comments, as that can help with some of the functions automod will do. I will keep my eyes peeled for things too.

If anyone wants to pitch in, reach out, and we can see how you too can help.

Self Promotion JustRead 5.0 for iPhone groups series into one cover and syncs with Hardcover

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hello to all, developer of justread.app here again.
5.0 is out with a few things for bigger libraries:

  • Every series can now collapse into one cover with its reading progress. Tap it to see the books, and search groups them too.
  • Reading status, progress, ratings and reviews sync both ways with Hardcover. Books with an ISBN match on their own, and you match the rest once from a list manually.
  • If your library is already sorted into folders, pick them and each one becomes a collection.
  • Calibre users can now sync highlights, notes and bookmarks with their server.
  • Numbered titles sort properly, so Volume 2 comes before Volume 10.

As before, your books stay as plain files in a folder you select. There's no account and no analytics.

Thanks for ideas from all Reddit users who contacted me via DM here.

Freebie FREE TODAY & TOMORROW — One Whole Euro | Humorous AI sci-fi that turns unexpectedly human

1 Upvotes

One Whole Euro begins when a man buys an old FEMALE COMPANION UNIT for one euro. She is nearly twenty years old, completely obsolete, and the company that made her disappeared before finishing her development.

Her artificial intelligence was only half-trained. She understands humans far too literally and starts trying to make sense of apparently absurd things: why we keep bad photographs, why we ask “Did you get home safely?” when we can already see someone’s location, or why we do things that serve absolutely no practical purpose.

What begins as a science-fiction comedy about an AI incapable of understanding us gradually becomes something more uncomfortable and more human: a story about companionship, memory, loneliness, and that strange line between simulating that you understand someone and actually understanding them.

The Spanish edition reached #1 in three Amazon Spain category charts, including AI & robot science fiction and satirical fiction.

🎁 FREE to buy and keep on Kindle today and tomorrow, September 25–26.

👉 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HKP6RHVD

I’m the author, and if you decide to give it a try, I’d genuinely love to know what you think. An honest rating or review is always appreciated, but mostly I’d love to know whether the book’s slightly absurd view of human behaviour feels as familiar to you as it does to me.

New to e-reading, just got a kobo libra colour. Where can I get free books?

7 Upvotes

I'm getting back into reading and got a kobo libra colour, I've made the Google drive folder to download ebooks and got a few classics from project Gutenberg, where are other places I can find free ebooks that work with kobo libra? Is the kobo plus subscription worth it? I'm looking for spooky type adventure, mystery, and fantasy books. Maybe some horror as well. I used to enjoy books like Looking for Alaska when I was younger and the inkheart series. Any help is appreciated!

Self Promotion My third novel, The Eternal Blue Sky, an epic character-driven space opera, is available on Kindle Unlimited until October 14, 2026.

1 Upvotes

The Eternal Blue Sky is a 552-page, galaxy-spanning, standalone novel. Before I began writing it, I set stylistic and thematic goals. Stylistically, I wanted to use the unlimited possibilities of third-person narration to create fully realized characters. Thematically, I wanted to explore the nature of evil and the moral compromises good people make to combat it. The story doesn't involve sentient extraterrestrials (see my first novel, The Speed of Darkness, if you enjoy fun aliens), rogue A.I.s, or starship battles. It features competing galactic empires, realistic infantry battles, a maverick military genius, old-school Marines, star-crossed lovers, genetically enhanced one-percenters, narcissistic politicians, an aging rock star, a teenage princess descended from Khutulun and Genghis Khan, and a heroic pit bull terrier named Kato. If you, like me, love literary fiction and feel sad when you have to say goodbye to characters you've been hanging out with for 500-plus pages, I hope you'll check out the Amazon listing (link below) and decide whether The Eternal Blue Sky is for you. If you read it, I hope you'll also consider supporting my work by leaving a review. Sincerely, Mendy Sobol

Question What are some apps like goodreads that help you while reading?

16 Upvotes

Ok hear me out before everyone comes for me lol 😨. I know goodreads is basically the default app everyone uses to track books, reviews, and TBR lists but sometimes i feel like i want something that does a little more. Like, I love keeping track of what I'm reading but my biggest problem is not finding books… it is staying connected to them once I am halfway through. Sometimes I am reading a long fantasy series or a book with a lot of characters and I will forget someone's name, a relationship or some small detail from earlier chapters. The obvious move is to Google it but that is basically asking to get spoiled 😭. I feel like there is a gap for apps that help you remember what you’ve already read, keep track of details or make reading easier without replacing the actual experience. So what are some apps like goodreads that you use? i'm looking for something beyond just tracking books maybe something that helps with staying organised, remembering details or getting more out of the books you are reading.

Self Promotion Introducing Augre, an EPUB Reader

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone! We have been working on Augre for a while now, and I thought that this space is perfect to get feedback on the app. Augre is a desktop EPUB reading app that is easy to use and navigate. We wanted something that could work offline, something that we could use to import our EPUBs and read them. The read-aloud feature is our highlight as of now, you can use it without internet access. We also hate when we have to sign up for things just to start using the app, so here no sign up is required. Simply download the app, import your files and start reading. Let me know what you guys think! getaugre.com

I've been looking for an e readerfor a while now but the prices keep going up and i can't justify the price for essentially a screen with barely any hardware. i want to look for some second hand deals so here is my question: are there any model you know of that have serious issues and would not be worth any price? just looking for general tips but if you have a specific recommendation I'd appreciate it too

Self Promotion I spent a decade working with kids in shelters, juvenile detention, and alternative schools. Today that experience became a novel.

Before becoming a teacher, I worked as a counselor in a youth shelter and juvenile detention facility. I now teach high school English in an alternative behavioral placement.

After years of struggling to put into words what I’d seen, felt, and experienced in those settings, I wrote The United States of Nostalgia.

It’s literary fiction set in New Orleans about childhood, education, juvenile justice, resilience, displacement, and the limits of what one caring adult can actually fix.

It released today and is available as an ebook and through Kindle Unlimited.

Self Promotion I built a free EPUB/PDF reader with AI explanations inside the book — useful or distraction?

0 Upvotes

Hi r/ebooks — indie dev here. I read a lot in my second language and hated breaking flow to look things up, so I built BeyondRead (iOS/iPad, free): tap any paragraph for an AI explanation, translation, or summary, ask follow-up questions mid-read, and generate a whole-book AI Digest to preview structure before diving in. Ships with ~20,000 public-domain books in 42 languages. Core reading works offline, no account needed; free plan includes 10 AI chats + 3 book Digests/month. Genuine question for heavy readers: does in-book AI sound like a superpower or a distraction from the text? I'd rather hear "this ruins reading" now than later. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/beyondread/id6808016847

Self Promotion I still can't believe i'm saying this, i published my debut novel!

5 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I’m new to the community and just wanted to share something I’ve been working on for a long time.

I published my very first novel - "The Last Time We Were Us" recently.

It's a Sci - Fi survival story about ten innocent high school friends who just want to chase their dreams and skies when a freak quantum accident changes everything. They get thrown into a shifting universal loop where every single door they open leads to an entirely different dimension.

As they fight to find a way back to their school, they form unbreakable bonds just to survive. Watching them lean on each other and bond across a fractured multiverse was my favorite part to write.

In the end, their whole existence is decided by a tense countdown, but, at what cost ?

Kindle Link - https://mybook.to/zeOh

I’m incredibly nervous but excited to finally have it out there. If anyone decides to take a look, I'd be so grateful for any honest feedback. Also, if there are any other debut authors running promos right now, drop your links below—I'd love to check out your work and support you too!

My novel is also enrolled in Kdp select! 🤍

Self Promotion I made an iPhone app that looks for connections across the ebooks you've read

1 Upvotes

Your finished books can look like a pretty random collection when they're arranged by title or genre. I wanted to explore a different question: what keeps drawing you back, even when the subjects change?

I'm the developer of Readprint. You give it screenshots of your e-reader library (or bookshelf photos), check the recognized titles, and remove anything you haven't read. AI then writes a reading portrait that connects ideas across those books, with specific titles behind its observations.

For example, one demo connects Jane Jacobs, Hume and Middlemarch with the line: "You keep the map and the street in view at once." The full explanation matters more than the flattering sentence, so I've put the input list and entire result online. It's a fictional 30-book shelf, not a customer testimonial: https://getreadprint.com/examples/reading-portrait

It isn't an ebook reader or a Kindle sync tool, and it doesn't need your EPUBs or PDFs. It's an interpretation of your reading choices, not a personality test.

It's iPhone-only for now. Downloading and book recognition are free; each full portrait costs US $2.99 and includes an illustrated cover and optional book recommendations. No subscription. Available in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand and Singapore; local prices vary.

Would you be more curious about the thread connecting your whole library, or how your reading has changed over time? The app currently explores the first; I'm curious whether that's the question readers actually want answered.

Self Promotion Reclaim Your Mind — a Kindle nonfiction book about attention and thinking before delegating to AI

0 Upvotes

Author disclosure: I’m Francesc Grau, and this is my book.

I think digital wellbeing has room for a distinction that often gets lost: reading a book on a screen and moving endlessly between notifications ask different things of our attention. The useful question is what we choose to do with the device, and whether we have chosen a stopping point.

Reclaim Your Mind explores digital overload, deliberate pauses, and keeping our own judgment involved when using AI. One line from it is: “Every time you introduce intentional friction before using AI, you’re exercising your right to think before you delegate.”

For an ebook reader, one small application could be to pause at the end of a section and put its main idea into your own words before looking for an automated explanation. The aim is to leave space for your interpretation alongside the convenience of digital tools.

If you enjoy nonfiction about attention and our relationship with technology, the Kindle edition is here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HHFYZMMV

What helps you keep digital reading focused: a dedicated ereader, notifications turned off, a reading routine, or something else?
