inklink is a social home for readers. Keep the books you own and the books you want in one searchable library. Follow the people whose taste you trust. Join a club that actually protects spoilers. See the page you’re on, the streak you’re keeping, and the year you’re having. inklink is not an e-reader and not a bookstore. It is the place your reading life lives. YOUR LIBRARY Search a large catalog, add books, and organize them into lists. Can’t find a title? Scan the ISBN on the cover and inklink can add it when it’s available. Import a Goodreads export from Settings if you’re moving your shelves over. DISCOVER FROM YOUR TASTE For You recommendations are built from books you finish — not from a generic bestseller list. Browse by genre, see what’s trending, what’s new on the shelf, and “because you read…” suggestions. Search by title, author, series, or ISBN. A FEED THAT’S ONLY BOOKS Follow readers you care about. Post what you’re reading with the book attached. Like, comment, save, and reshare. Switch between Following, Community, and Saved. Profiles start private; you choose who sees more than your name, username, and picture. BOOK CLUBS, WITHOUT SPOILERS Start or join a club. Public, private, or secret. Queue the next book, keep an active read, and archive what you’ve finished. Discussions are organized into rooms — including milestone rooms with unlock gates, so spoilers stay with people who have read that far. Pins and polls live in the lobby. Invite with a link or QR. Roles cover owner, admin, moderator, and member. PROGRESS YOU CAN FEEL Log the page you’re on. Set a monthly or yearly goal and raise it if you outrun it. Keep a daily reading streak. Join dated community challenges where every finish counts once. Earn badges. Share a milestone card for a book, badge, challenge, or streak. YOUR YEAR, AT A GLANCE Reading insights show books and pages read, average rating, streak, books per month, and the genres and authors you actually spent time with. inklink is for people who already have a stack on the nightstand and want that stack to have a home.
