A New Social Book Network: Copia Connects Avid Readers

Among what I found to be the most exciting unfurlings at this year’s consumer electronics show, Copia welcomes us to new online literary social networking. With millions of eReaders and tablets all the rage this year, Copia has combined eBooks with social networking to create what they deem the first social “eReading community.” Whether you read your eBooks on a tablet, mobile device or computer, you can exchange notes in real time, explore who has read similar books, save quotes to reference later, and jump into community discussions.
Designed particularly for eBook readers, Copia enables you to converse with friends or other passionate readers as you catalog your favorites, rate the books you’ve read, highlight passages, leave comments within a book, follow along with someone reading the same book as you are, bookmark favorite passages or quotes, record thoughts in the margins, and most importantly share reactions. Copia further enables you create both private and public study groups for educational reading, thus book groups and study groups in particular get elevated to an entirely new social sharing level.

In short, Copia makes it easy to curate your digital library, find others who share your reading tastes and join discussions about books you love. Available on both the Mac and PC, you can join in online or from the pages of an open eBook. You can also also purchase and download new releases, bestsellers and old favorites from the extensive Copia catalog.

So next time you settle in to get comfortable with your favorite book, log onto Copia to watch an awesome new era of literary social networking unfold.
