A social-networking website for people interested in books has been launched.
Bookrabbit
lets users meet others with similar reading interests, join forums and put
questions to authors.
To help match users with similar interests, anyone who registers is asked to
upload a photo of their bookcase. Bookrabbit then scans the books and suggests
other people on the site who own similar titles.
Users can also create their own book categories to ensure they find exactly
what they are looking for. Other users can then contribute to discussions and
recommend books they find useful.
The website holds information on up to 4.2 million titles. It also sells
books, and says it compares prices with rival bookstore
Amazon
every week.
Kieron Smith, Bookrabbit’s managing director, said: “We have launched
Bookrabbit to address a fundamental gap in the online book selling market.
“We understand that if you want to be surprised by books, if you want to
experience new authors, if you have a passion for reading, then you don’t turn
to a machine, or the dinosaurs of the book trade to help you – you turn to other
readers, and what they have experienced through the books they have read.”
