Here are the latest news about Bookmate:
2014. Ebook subscription service Bookmate launches iPhone, Android apps
Picture, if you will, a small unassuming app called Bookmate, which has just had the temerity to launch itself into the vast and swirling universes of iOS and Android. Not content with merely being a subscription-based social e-reading service, it now boasts a cunningly engineered social feed, enabling the curious to trail their friends, adored authors, and the odd celebrity through the literary cosmos. With the flick of a virtual wrist, readers can scatter their beloved books and sparkling quotes across the ether of Facebook, Twitter, or even VKontakte (a social network that probably has its own opinion about interstellar hitchhiking). Book-hunting has been rendered absurdly simple through recommendations that take a peek at bestselling tomes and community favorites. Meanwhile, the new interface—designed for the discerning mobile, web, and tablet reader—smoothly records one’s progress, allowing for seamless leaping between devices without ever losing one’s place in the Great Book of Reading. Of course, the clever boffins at Bookmate thought to include offline storage and highly adjustable reading preferences—because even in the uncharted territories of literature, one must cater to nocturnal explorers and daylight dwellers alike.
2014. Bookmate - e-book subscription platform for emerging countries
In the bustling, snow-sprinkled heart of Moscow, a startup called Dream Industries has rather gleefully secured $3 million to sprinkle its peculiar brand of brilliance on the world with a subscription-based social reading service known as Bookmate. Imagine, if you will, a merry band of tech wizards planning a literary conquest of Turkey, Scandinavia, and Latin America, all while defying the gravitational pull of their Moscow base. Bookmate is a sort of digital bookish utopia—spanning mobile, tablet, and web—that claims a whopping 1.5 million monthly readers. Unlike the cold, unyielding empires of Amazon, Google Books, or iBooks, Bookmate’s open platform connects publishers directly with readers, doling out shiny behavioral analytics and snazzy marketing tools so publishers can do a little happy dance about “owning” their relationships. A refreshingly cunning twist, really, given how the mighty tech overlords prefer markets that actually come with functioning infrastructure—something emerging markets lack but seem to be handling just fine, thank you very much.

Enjoyed Bookmate for the month I used it free. Unfortunately I cannot renew as we can no longer make international purchases with Nigerian cards. Hopefully that will be resolved soon and I can subscribe again.
