Free e-books & social reading combined - what could possibly be better?
Litfy, a 100% free e-book service that combines social reading, book clubs and sharing with the actual books, on one and the same site, is now available in Beta at www.litfy.com. There is no longer a need to buy the books from one site and talk about them on another, when Litfy has both! Litfy is changing the way we read and talk about books!
Litfy is a cloud based service, i.e. there is no downloading of messy formats necessary, that hosts thousands of classical works of fiction, from Dante and Chaucer to Austen, Tolstoy and Mark Twain. Litfy is the one stop shop for readers from all books of life, students, bookworms and casual readers alike. Based on an innovative platform, with a unique reader, Litfy is as easy as click and read!
On www.litfy.com users can read books for free, rate and review books, discuss what they are reading, see what others are reading, make lists and share them, and keep logs of what they are reading. Also, Litfy lets readers make bookmark to return to later, take notes and highlight the text and then of course share these notes and highlights both on and off Litfy, through a plethora of social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and many more, making the reading experience truly social. To make the Litfy adventure complete readers can through a few simple clicks start and join groups: book groups, study groups or fan groups, though which they can discuss, share quotes and documents.
Litfy's classical e-books are free, because let's face it, books are normally expensive. Thus Litfy offers free fiction e-books! Why pay for these books in a store or on Amazon when you can get them for free on Litfy?
Litfy is initially available on the web. An app for iPhone will be launched later this month, and iPad app will be available late November. The apps will sync Litfy accounts across multiple devices making it incredibly easy to bring the reading material anywhere! Reading on Litfy, on any device, and using all of its functions is completely free for everyone.
Litfy is currently in talks with publishers and authors from several countries to make their books available on Litfy. Litfy will enable publishers and individual authors to reach a new, larger audience by uploading their lists to Litfy using an automated system that requires minimal effort and no additional cost, yet lets them attain new revenue streams and visibility.

Most publishers don't have a digital strategy - Litfy has one for them.
Litfy combines social reading and e-books into one: with social- and reading/studying and sharing components on top of free fiction e-books through a cloud based reader that synchs across devices. Litfy's proprietary platform enables authors and publishers to make e-books available to a huge number of readers; sharing revenues from advertising and eventually subscription fees.
