Librify: A New Model

There is an interesting article in the June 22nd issue of Publishers Weekly regarding “Librify,” which is aimed at using the Book of the Month Club model to bring e-books to book club readers. Librify is the brainchild of Joanna Stone Herman, and is scheduled for beta-testing in July followed by a launch in the fall. According to the article, “Librify [is] a startup geared to book clubs and heavy readers that combines social reading, recommendations à la Goodreads, and a Book of the Month Club–style subscription service for one discounted e-book a month with a fully stocked e-bookstore that works across devices.”

It will be interesting for both authors and readers to follow the development of Librify as it tries to establish a new model for the book industry.
