Four reasons to join Readmill

We’re a young company tackling problems and finding new opportunities in the ebook space. Join us and help build solutions.

Great problems

Everyday we face interesting problems. How can we let readers store and search annotations on any reading device? How can we scale to meet our growing user base? Creating a platform for books is a constant challenge.

Data abound

The data generated while reading is abundant and we aim to make sense of it. We want to help our users have a better book experience by finding patterns in how, what and where people read.
