Hunter's comment
I'm not sure how I feel about this. It's a cool idea, but I have no idea if I'd love reading a book one text message at a time, or not.
I get the concept, it's for busy folks who probably find themselves scrolling through twitter or instagram aimlessly on line at the bank or in the doctor's waiting room office. So why not use that time to read!?
If you think about it like that, it's kind of a cool use of that down time. You choose and ebook to upload and enter your phone number and the book is sent to you in managable bites you can read whenever you want. When you're ready for the next bit, all you have to do is type "next".
I tried it out for myself and here's what it looks like..
I think Gready is just one example of the way we consume information changing more than the information itself. I'm a bit torn because part of the joy of reading for me is to cozy up with a book at night and maybe some tea, and read page by page. Something about the ritual of that is so calming to me.
(especially when I get to read out loud for @teamhumble- dawwww....)
But, if you're just interested in passing the time in a constructive way instead of just scrolling through baby pictures and waist trainer ads on Instagram. I'd give this one a shot :D

Thanks for appreciate @dayleeo 👍
Hmm... maybe looks like a great product, I am just curious about the charges of this app? Since the website you had given doesn't show much of the information about the app itself.
yeah the website is a little TOO minimal. If you have unlimited texting and data in your plan you'll certainly be fine but its always best to check with your mobile provider first before you read a whole book via text lol- at least you'll always know where you left off !
So, it's GREADY that send you the messages or using your own phone number?
@superoo7 yeah they're sending from a dedicated line on their end - mine shows a US 818 area code number- so if youre international that COULD hurt- not sure if it's smart enough to know where you're located or if it only accepts US numbers? I can only test with my phone but would be interested to know for sure :)

I'm not sure reading in text format is a good idea at all... I doubt this will catch on.
