BOOKLET GUY'S READING CULTURE FOUNDATION The foundation of Mission Make India Read is my personal belief: "If I'm not reading, I'm not changing. If I'm not changing, I'm not growing." - Booklet Guy Read / listen to one Booklet up to 100% and become eligible for a new Booklet.

Click on “More Books” to download new Booklet (if you are eligible) Why do we ask for these permissions in the app? 1) Access to Media & Storage: So that we can store the book cover images and audio files. 2) To manage phone calls: If you get a call while you are listening to an audio summary, we need to stop the audio immediately. Else audio will keep playing while you are speaking on the phone. 3) Access to camera: To enable you to upload your profile pic We do not intend to intrude into your privacy. We shall maintain utmost integrity and honesty while taking care of your reading life. Make India read is a mission and not a business. Please feel safe to allow the permissions.
