[...] TechCrunch – “Before this week I’d never really heard much about DailyLit, a site that Emails you books in short, easily-consumable chunks. But after a few days of receiving The Count of Monte Cristo in my Email inbox every morning, I think I may be hooked – these serialized novels couldn’t be more perfect for a 10 minute coffee break or waiting at the bus stop.” Posted in Uncategorized | | Top Of Page [...]

Good question. We offer many of our books entirely for free so folks have a chance to try out the service before they buy a book.

We’ve also recently launched a sponsorship program that allows us to make books that would normally be paid available for free. For instance, right now, thanks to the sponsorship of H.Stern, the book “This Moment on Earth: Today’s New Environmentalists and Their Vision for The Future” is available entirely for free (normally it costs $9.95).

Happy reading!

I’ve used DailyLit for a couple of years. Using the service I’ve read books that I never would have picked up otherwise, such as The Art of War. You’re right, broken into short segments, the books make a great break in the day. For me there’s the added bonus of avoiding my country’s censors.

This reminds me of newspapers in Japan publishing serialized versions of novels. The Nikkei — basically the Wall Street Journal of Japan — is a business and economics newspaper, but is famous for always having a popular novelist first produce their serialized installments in the Culture section and then pulling them together later in book form. This fall it was Kenzo Kitakata, a big name in Japanese fiction, just as one example.

This isn’t a new promotion technique. Dickens, of course, in the 1800s, and many other English and American novelists were published this way.

My one question: If the pervading online ethos is “free,” can teaser snippets attract people to buy? I’m likely to try out DailyLit, but I’m not sure if I’m willing to pay. What is DailyLit doing to address this?

Haven’t you been to the site? There are already books you have to pay for.

Ads? Subscriptions?

I think its really good for those who absolutely hate reading, like myself. If its in bite size, its something I should be able to digest.

This is a quite a useful service but been around for a while now. A early review[1] of mine covers it.

In my long use I find that one quickly tires of the list of books provided by them. What would be cool is if we could upload our docs and have it split and sent out in byte sized chunks. Of course this should ensure the content is not shared with anybody else due to privacy concerns.

This is a great idea. I read about this site and the founders in Costco sales magazine (I read anything . This is definitely a simple and brilliant idea and site.

As the earlier commenter said, “why did I not think of this?”

Thanks for the shout out Jason.

I found this site on a Peek “Performance” Blog while exploring ways to make the simple email machine achieve its potential.

More spam?
I guess they are going to share only the sample of the new release books and generate revenue from the publishers.

I would just read physical books.

I love and hate the idea.

It seems having the full text available gives you the freedom to read as much as you want at any given time, but being constantly reminded and having a set time everyday would make is more likely to actually finish the book.
