Glose is an interactive eBook platform that allows users to read, annotate, and share notes within a community. It features a diverse library of eBooks and audiobooks, where users can highlight text, leave comments, and engage in discussions directly on the pages they are reading. Glose aims to make reading a more collaborative and social experience, enhancing learning and enjoyment.
Why We Like It
Glose has transformed reading into a more engaging and collaborative experience with its interactive and social features. You can share notes, highlights, and comments with friends or a wider community. Another aspect of Glose that we are glowing about is related to the business to business product. Publishers connect Glose to their online storefront on their website allowing for Direct to Consumer sales, which vastly benefits the Author as it means they get to take more money home from each sale. This further solidifies our favorite authors to continue creating content we love while supporting them in their efforts.
Favorite Features
- Social Reading Experience: You can highlight text, make notes, and share them with friends or the public. One way we love using this feature is actually as a corporate tool. There have been too many times to count where coworkers are sharing learnings from books, but those learnings would get forgotten or distorted. With Glose’s social reading features, we can read the same book and make notes and annotations in it for each other to see, ensuring information isn’t muddled or forgotten, furthering the productivity of our company.
- Extensive Library: Glose has a bookstore where you can purchase your favorite ebooks from. Their store provides access to a vast collection of books, including bestsellers and classics.
- Personalized Recommendations: If you’re looking for tailored book suggestions based on your reading habits and preferences, Glose delivers.
- Offline Reading: I can’t count the number of times I’ve gone to read an ebook only to find that I have no service. With Glose, you can download books and read them without an internet connection.
- Annotations and Highlights: We love that you can easily annotate and highlight text, and these notes can be shared or kept private.
