I don't get what's the point on this. In my opinion a single page has barely content enough to develop anything interesting and because of it, it could be quite difficult to bring the context of the previous page every day you read a new one. I can't see how one can get hooked to read a book this way.

#12Anyone who enjoys this might enjoy an email newsletter I run, Thinking About Things [1], which sends readers a single interesting and thought-provoking link every morning. It's a similar idea - small, manageable parts of ideas for people who are too busy to pursue idea discovery full-time.

The point is people will sign up, see extra activity in their inbox and get some endorphins from that sweet illusion of productivity.

#15Now if only you could geofence this to restrooms all over the world so it will send you a page as a push notification...while you push.

#16Tried the man who folded himsel, the time machine and some others but got no hits. I hope my taste is not too bad or that I'm blind...

#17Great idea. Subscription does not work for me at the moment but I really like it.
Only thing I would suggest is showing some categories with several (3-4) books in each.

#19- I couldn't find a way to get a list of short non-fiction books sorted by popularity.
- After entering my email address, I get a 500 error.

#20Implement this as an android app instead of email. Have a system where I can open a random page of a book in a genre as many times as I want for free, and I can continue reading from that page, but if I read through x continuous pages I have automatically bought the book (or a chapter of it) and it goes in my library.
