We're making about $600/mo right now working on Oku, which we're building as a social book tracker (and more) and hoping to replace Goodreads with. https://oku.club Here's my profile for example: https://oku.club/user/joe

Do you provide a way to export data in case the site closes down? I don't use any app/site to track what books I read, but I see that it could be interesting.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Your pricing page seems to have no prices on it and your sign up page doesn't load for me.

We removed pricing, one reseller wanted that out. But good point, I think we should add it again and be transparent since his business is good but not good enough to do so. What happened when you git Sign up? Thanks a bunch for the feedback!

Added pricing back, thanks again for the feedback!

A friend and I made a repository for high-quality, affordable language learning flashcards around a year ago. https://deckmill.com Made using a mix of ML (translation and TTS) and human translators.

Cool, but I can't seem to find the pricing anywhere? Edit: there it is, I must have gone blind.

Nice!! How big are those displays, and if you don't mind sharing, how much do those displays cost from your supplier? Last time I checked, e-paper displays were pretty pricey on their own.

The display is 7.5 inches, from Waveshare. I pay retail.

What's the profit margin like?

E-ink displays are expensive. That price point seems not enough to generate decent income.
