Questions and answers
Do I need an account?
Yes, a free account, so your library and reading place are saved. Readers never pay a membership.
Can I read on a Kindle or Kobo?
Not on e-ink devices. BookMarket ebooks open in a web browser on a phone, tablet or computer.
Why not just buy on Amazon?
You can, and many readers use both. On BookMarket, independent authors keep 100% of net royalties on digital sales, and you can read without a Kindle. See where to buy ebooks without Amazon/reading-room/where-to-buy-ebooks-without-amazon.
