Bookship: a virtual book club

Bookship is a social reading app for sharing your reading experiences with friends, family & co-workers. Chat, share thoughts and observations with your book club. Post photos of a favorite passage. Have Bookship extract a quote from a photo of a page you're reading. Create Groups & Calendars to manage your meetings. A mobile-first, camera-ready, emoji-friendly experience!

Whether it's reading a great novel with your best friend across the country or a neighborhood book club, or a business book with your co-workers, Bookship is your virtual book club companion. Build better relationships through books, and enrich your reading experience along the way.

Read classic books right inside the app. Browse classic books from Project Gutenberg, Standard eBooks, and other sources. Use our built-in eReader to read the book, sharing notes and comments with your friends RIGHT INSIDE THE book. Look for the "Read Free!" tag on the top left of the cover art for the book to see books you can read for free.

Bookship provides unique book discovery and recommendations, with a special emphasis on books that are topical and perfect for book clubs! Get great ideas for your next group reading or book club! Browse by genre, with books being talked about by the leading book tastemakers.
