Publishing is separate
Books are created and distributed through one set of tools.
Platform
ReaderPub:
A web-native publishing network.
We combine publishing, reading, discussion and knowledge tools into a single platform so books stay active on the web after release.
Publish securely to the web.
Listen to and retain your readers.
Listen to and retain your readers.
Publishing systems are fragmented
Most digital publishing workflows rely on disconnected tools. Publishing, reading, discussion and knowledge management often happen in separate systems.
Reading is separate
Readers move into isolated applications and ecosystems.
Discussion is separate
Conversations happen across many platforms disconnected from the publication.
Knowledge is separate
Notes, references and long-term work often live outside the publication ecosystem.
ReaderPub exists because the old model breaks the relationship
File-first publishing can move a book from one place to another, but it cannot keep books connected to readers, authors, institutions and communities.
Old publishing model
- Create a file
- Upload it to a marketplace or archive
- Lose the reader relationship
- Move discussion to external platforms
ReaderPub model
- Publish the book as a web asset
- Keep readers, authors and institutions connected
- Attach discussion and discovery to the work
- Extend the life of every publication
