Publishing is separate
Books are created and distributed through one set of tools, then handed off elsewhere.
Platform
ReaderPub:
A web-native publishing network.
ReaderPub combines publishing, browser-based reading, discussion, and knowledge tools in one platform, keeping books active on the web after release.
Publish securely to the web.
Listen to your readers—and retain them.
Listen to your readers—and retain them.
Publishing systems remain fragmented
Most digital publishing workflows still rely on disconnected tools: publishing, reading, discussion, and knowledge management often happen in separate systems.
Reading is separate
Readers move into isolated applications and closed ecosystems.
Discussion is separate
Conversations happen across platforms that are disconnected from the publication.
Knowledge is separate
Notes, references, and long-term work often remain outside the publication ecosystem.
ReaderPub exists because the old model breaks the reader relationship
File-first publishing can move a book from one place to another, but it cannot keep that book connected to readers, authors, institutions, and communities.
Old publishing model
- Create a standalone file
- Upload it to a marketplace or archive
- Lose the direct reader relationship
- Move discussion to external platforms
ReaderPub model
- Publish the book as a living web asset
- Keep readers, authors, and institutions connected
- Keep discussion and discovery attached to the work
- Extend the life of every publication
