Read classic books by email. One page at a time.
Came across the onesmallpage app on Sebastian Marshall's blog today. The creator advertised it as a way of reading more if you find it hard to find time to read (although he worded more eloquently than that!)
I subscribed to Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, and have just received and read the first ten pages. Seems like a great idea to me, especially as the email is readable on my phone's screen.
Yet to see whether five pages a day works as an amount, but I see no reasons why it wouldn't.
The selection of books available is impressive also.

Just wanted to say thanks for the writeup - I really appreciate it! Dan Shipper (onesmallpage)
ReplyDeleteNo problem! Glad to spread the word. Read 15 pages of the book so far and the amount of text / interval between emails is working well.
ReplyDeleteAre all the books in the public domain / outside copyright?
All of the books are taken from Project Gutenberg (http://www.gutenberg.org) and they are all in the public domain.
