While many people consider reading books to be a solitary activity, that doesn’t always hold true in reality.  For lots of readers, books are as social of a hobby as anything else.  People create book clubs, use social media and engage in events such as author signings and Q&A sessions just to meet other avid readers and discuss the nature of their favorite texts.  Conversations range from speculation about character motivations to complex academic discussions about story themes.  Now, a cool product in technology wants to harness this social aspect of book reading for profit.  Bookmate lets readers take notes, leave questions, and copy quotes in every book that they read with the app and then share all their notations with all of their friends on social media.  Users can read their friends’ notations within a certain book as they read it on Bookmate and then engage those friends on social media to discuss how they felt about those notes.  Bookmate integrates with popular social networks like Facebook and Twitter so people can even share their notes with friends who don’t use Bookmate.  Anyone who cannot connect his or her Bookmate account to Twitter or Facebook should get help from a remote computer support provider.

Bookmate doesn’t only provide the social aspect of reading to users, but also provides the eBooks themselves.  Bookmate works on a subscription model where people pay a monthly fee for access to a library of thousands of books whenever they want on their computers and mobile devices.  People can read and “mark up” any of these books with their notations and comments as long as they subscribe.  Users can also have access to the Bookmate social features with a number of public domain books without paying a subscription.  The app even lets people upload their own unprotected book files to their accounts if they want to keep all their eBooks in the same place. People having trouble uploading their files to any of the Bookmate mobile apps may need mobile IT support services.

Cool product Bookmate wants to monetize the social interactions of readers and offering an all-you-can-read subscription service combined with exclusive social features is probably a smart way to accomplish that.
