Annual subscription is decent value for money if you read a lot, but the other options seem expensive and the free version would probably take a year to read a single book. If you give it a go there's a great selection of topics. Some authors are definitely novice but even then, some of the stories are great, it's just the writing quality that's low. The reviews are generally helpful when deciding whether to dive in to a book or series and it's easy to find related books.

I love the fact that I can read free. Opening one chapter every six hours is annoying though. I would rather watch ads. I wish they had more options to read free. I have done the math and it takes about a week to open a book if you are diligent. The stories are great but since I already spent money I am going to have to be way more strategic in my reading.

Your suggestion about more options for free reading and watching ads is valuable and we'll certainly take it into consideration. If there are any other ways we can ...

The books are great. However if you want to read more than one chapter a day or one chapter a week you have to spend money. You can earn 1 point a day by "checking in" but when most chapters cost 4 points, they go quick. I could buy books from a big retail store for cheaper than the cost if I was to buy points. And I read too many other reviews about the "unlimited" option to avoid it. My response to the automated reply... is what "daily tasks"?
