Subtext 1.2.2

Reading together is better—especially with access to the world’s largest collection of books! Subtext powers the first community in the pages of ebooks. With Subtext, you can engage in conversations with friends, authors and experts and access all types of information and multimedia—right in the margins of your books. It’s like sitting in your living room reading a book surrounded by your friends, the author and, if you’re up for the extra company, the most interesting people in the Subtext community. A totally new reading experience!

Subtext is launching with 18 popular books enhanced with original author and expert notes. You can preview all of them—or any book, for that matter—just by downloading the application. Examples of enhanced books in Subtext:

• A Game of Thrones with insider commentary from George R.R. Martin’s editor and researcher (who also runs Westeros.org)
• Snow Flower and the Secret Fan brought to life with scenes from the new movie and interviews with author Lisa See and director Wayne Wang
• Under the Tuscan Sun with updates on characters and new off-the-beaten-path locations directly from Frances Mayes
• Wicked Bugs with quirky notes and multimedia added by author Amy Stewart—eek!
• Miss Lonelyhearts beautifully annotated by book critic David L. Ulin

Plus a dozen more books—many of them great reading group choices—enhanced with one-of-a-kind content. Better yet, you can read books from Google Books, Kobo and a host of other online retailers in Subtext. In fact, any Google Book you purchase (or own) automatically appears on your bookshelf in Subtext.

Subtext offers all the functionality of other ereading apps—adjustable fonts, brightness control, a built-in dictionary and so on—but that’s not what makes it so unique. Right from the pages of your books, you can:

• Engage in conversations with friends, community members, authors and experts, even if you’re are not on the same page at the same time
• Access author, expert and community insights and information and contribute your own
• Explore links to relevant articles, images and multimedia on the Web and add your own
• Browse and preview books on your friends’ bookshelves and a collection of featured shelves
• Personalize the experience so you only see the people and information that matter to you
• Access the world’s largest collection of digital books on the Google eBookstore
