Also I understand maybe it isn't working yet but I look forward to being able to share books later. Another thing, what do you plan to do with the public libraries on your platform? I am very excited to see what you are up to! Thank you for providing this free for now service!
Most importantly, from what country are you based and what do you guys do with our books other than providing this service? What do you do with our reading records?
Thanks in advance,

Hey Pizza_Cant_Read,
Thank you for your interest.
1. Calibre Plugin - Yes we have this on our roadmap currently and will have it released shortly after we have deployed sharing with friends and a few other updates for our iOS and Android apps
2. Share eBooks - Yes this will be released in Q1 - Q2 next year
3. Public Libraries - We have our business/organization
business/organization offering which we offer that can be private or public libraries which is paid for by the organization. If you are referring to personal user accounts then we plan to do nothing other than building a service that meets their eBook needs.
4. Our use of your books and reading records - To make it sort we do not sell or distribute any data about or created by our readers. We have a paid premium plan for readers that have a large collection. Based in NY and all servers are also in the US.
We only store your eBooks as expected to allow you to sync and download them between devices. We store reading records and associated activities like bookmarks and comments again just to have them synced and accessible across all your devices. We also allow you to export your highlights.
We have a premium offering for users with large collections that you can currently upgrade to for unlimited storage/uploads to organize, read, share and sync your eBooks across all devices. This option will start to be displayed when a reader uploads 20 or more books. Please feel free to sign up and take us for a spin and if you are interested in our service signal your support by upgrading to our premium reader account. This will help to drive features that you are interested in.
We also have a Send To Kindle option that allows you to easily send your books to your Kindle device as well
PS: Our premium offering is currently at 50% off and will remain that way for early subscribers.
