This is the documentation for v1 of the Readmill API which is deprecated and will be discontinued on 2012-12-16. Please upgrade to v2, the new developer documentations are at developers.readmill.com.

• It makes your app more attractive to users by providing the latest social features
• It will increase the stickyness of your app by letting users be social
• If people share what they think about your content you will increase book sales

Yes you do. Since the user grants access for your app to their account on Readmill you know exactly who's using your application.

We are focused on e-readers and e-books and are dedicated to provide the easiest way for people to share what they read. We don't want people to enter their entire reading history and we try to avoid forcing our users to manually add the books they read.

No you can't. We wan't to create a great recommendation & discovery service and for that to happen we need as much data as possible. In not too long time we will support public/private groups that can act as a network-in-network.

There is no charge for using the API. You can use one of our wrappers, or implement your own. Implementing a wrapper and integrating it into your application could take as little as a few days.
