Obooko

Hey all, I’m George. I’ve spent the last few months rebuilding Obooko, a free ebook platform that’s been around since 2010 with 11 million downloads across 840,000 readers. tldr: reading time is declining while screen time explodes. #BookTok has 370B+ views, which is *more than every book ever sold in human history*. So the demand for book content is massive. The format just hasn’t kept up. Obooko is our answer. It's completely free, ad-supported. There's no subscriptions, no DRM, no device lock in. Just books. What’s new in this rebuild: Modern web reader: start on your laptop, pick up on your phone Personal library that syncs across every device PDF, EPUB, and Kindle downloads: your choice, always 30+ genres, thousands of titles from indie authors to NYT bestsellers My background: I previously my online art marketplace to $100M+ in art sales and built/exited SmartrMail. This is my third venture. A book changed the direction of my career in my twenties and I genuinely believe reading expands minds and changes lives. That’s why we exist: to increase the world’s reading minutes. What’s next: Revenue sharing for authors. Readers never pay, but authors earn from the ad revenue their books generate. Every read earns. Our motto is: Fiat Libri. Let There Be Books. i'd love to hear what would make you choose a book over your feed? And if you’re an author, what would make you publish with us?
