Here's an interactive sneak peek!
Book of the Day
Ready Player Oneby Ernest ClineOne book at a time.Try it out, see how easy it is.
Save books to your want to read list, rate books, add them to your lists, update reading progress, set your privacy settings and lots more.
Match With Books You'll Love*
Hardcover gives you a score from 0% to 100% based on how likely you are to enjoy each book.
This match percentage is based on every book you've ever read, taking into account what books readers with similar taste enjoy.
* Still in progress! For the programmers out there - we're using Tensorflow.js with machine learning models to generate this. Â Join our discord if you'd like to help us get this just right.
Simplified Book Tracking
Hardcover is designed to be your "book brain". Track every book you might want to read, what you've already read, and what you're currently reading all in one place.
Set your status on a book, rate it, review it, add it to lists, track when you've read it and even track if this was an audiobook all in one place.
This prototype is interactive! Try playing with this demo and see how it works. If you love it or hate it, we'd love to hear your thoughts.
Discussions for Every Book*
Whether you just finished an amazing book, or you're thinking about an all-time favorite, connecting with other passionate readers can revisit what you loved.
Our threaded discussions helps you answer questions, remember the good parts, and even discover parts you missed.
* We're still figuring this feature out, but already believe it'll be a big part of Hardcover.
And most importantly...
