## What is Grow books?

grow books is a reading management app that helps you build your own personal reading space.

■Concept

“A bookshelf in your pocket.”

The books you’ve read, the books you want to read, and the books waiting to be read—you probably have quite a collection. Some books are right beside you, while others are not; some are e-books, and others are physical copies.

grow books lets you keep all the books that no physical bookshelf could hold in your pocket, helping you continue your reading journey with joy.

■Features of grow books

・Arrange your registered books just like on a real bookshelf.
・Take photos of book spines and attach them to your books.
・No social media or ranking features. Keep your own reading records without worrying about what others think.

■Main Features

・A bookshelf view inspired by a real bookshelf
・Search for and register books, with book covers, titles, and other information filled in automatically
・Manually register books that cannot be found through search
・Import data from other apps or CSV files you manage yourself
・Organize books by category and genre, and record whether they are e-books or physical books
・View a list of your registered books

・Register and view the history of “#MyTop10Novels” — the 10 books that best represent you

■Premium Plan Concept

The concept behind the Premium Plan is “supporting you in reading for longer and enjoying it more.”

Reading is enjoyable and meaningful, but there may be times when your motivation starts to fade. For those moments, the Premium Plan offers useful features to help you maintain your desire to read and continue reading consistently.

■Premium Features

・Record rereads separately from your first reading.
・Review your monthly totals for pages read and money spent on books.

・People who want to continue reading with enjoyment
・People who have managed their reading in Notion but want to move to an app
・People who love reading
・People who respect books enough to always buy them new
