Loosing Site

Book Glutton is a beta web application that combines the functions of an online e-book reader with social networking tools. Using the Unbound book reader you can:

• chat with others reading the same book
• chat only with those reading the same chapter
• write notes in the margins
• comment on other people’s notes

Social networking is encouraged through the use of book groups, collections of individuals who agree to read the same text over the same period of time. A planned extension of the site’s features will give users the ability to upload their own works or other people’s works that are in the public domain.

Intended primarily for recreational use the reader has some functional similarity with the Knowledge Media Institutes’s D3E tool, making it suitable for use in education.
