You found out at the bookstore that your favorite author had published a novel six months ago. Parutio exists so that never happens again. Follow your writers and your series. Every time they publish, you get the alert β€” including the day the book comes out in paperback. β€” THE ALERT COMES FIRST β€” You choose who you follow, Parutio tells you when they publish: that's the heart of the app, not a feed deciding for you. No ads, no social network open to everyone. β€” EVERY FORMAT, PAPERBACK INCLUDED β€” Hardcover, trade paperback, mass market, ebook, audiobook: every edition has its own date. The paperback release β€” the one everybody misses β€” is one of them. β€” YOUR RELEASE CALENDAR β€” One month, one view: everything your authors publish, past and upcoming. Free, no limit. β€” NOVELS, GRAPHIC NOVELS, MANGA, COMICS β€” Four shelves, one mechanism: follow a series, know when the next volume lands. β€” FOR YOU β€” Author and book suggestions, based on your own library and the authors and series you follow β€” never on what other readers do, and never advertising behind them. β€” YOUR LIBRARY β€” Owned, read, want to read: every book has its shelves β€” a novel can be both owned and read. Point the camera at an ISBN barcode to add a book in a second. And share your wish list with a link β€” the people who buy you presents will know what to get. β€” WITH FRIENDS β€” Swap a private code with people close to you: you browse their shelves and their reading, they see your wish list. Nothing is public by default: you choose what you share, shelf by shelf. β€” YOUR READING YEAR β€” Add dates to your reading and see your year, month by month. Rate your books and share your thoughts, signed with your first name and last initial. β€” ON YOUR HOME SCREEN β€” The widget shows your authors' next release and its countdown, without opening the app. β€” WHERE TO FIND IT β€” On every book page, the offers by format and the bookstores that carry them. FREE 3 follows, 3 friends, the full calendar, release notifications, an unlimited library, "For You" suggestions and 30 barcode scans. PARUTIO PREMIUM Unlimited follows (authors and series), unlimited friends, format alerts β€” paperback and ebook β€”, calendar export to Calendar or Google Calendar, unlimited scans.
