    I found this site where you can read books for free and cash out satoshi/bitcoins as you read on. If you're a veteran on this site and already read all the novels here you can go here I guess. I haven't even started reading yet. *cough* The only reason why I made this thread is to spread my referral link xD

    If your getting paid to read them.. most likely "needle in a haystack" will play out here for a good book.

    So what reason could they possibly have for you to read books, and to even pay you for it?

    Not really worth it for most people. You have to read on the site without exporting to a better reader - it has ads on every page, numerous captcha, and all that. They make their money from you and give you a bit back. And at max you're getting paid about 10 cents an hour... to read on the website. If you want to read on the site it's not bad, the owner is trusted and they have a massive track record of always paying/not scamming. But 10 cents an hour...

    I recognize some of the selections but most are old, nothing current. Also if your trying to use this to make money.....

    400 satoshi every 10 minutes, and payout at 20,000 Satoshi.

    That means in 500 minutes you can make about 16 cents....

    Advertisement for old books that are out of print that they acquired the copyrights for/are in the public domain would be my guess

    It seems like you're earning money but actually, it's the site owners that's earning even more money from ads.

    Also, went on google.com for site feedback. So you'll know what to expect.
    "120 satoshi's for 5 minutes = 1440 satoshi's/hour... Best case scenario, you'll make about 10 cents/hour"
    "120 satoshi every 5 minutes, but 1 captcha every time"

    im browsing the various categories, and the site sdoesnt have all that great of a selection. Their books, as far as i can see, are fairly old, or at least not new by any means. When browsing the fantasy/sci-fi category i found books that were of no particular note, for example, i didnt even see a harry potter book. And it seems the same when browsing the other categories. Also, the categories themselves are few. Not even a young adult section. In all, they have a small number of books available and they arent very recent or popular either. I wont say its a bad site, but probably not something for readers of our particular interests. That site is likely for a very niche number of readers who enjoy the classic or more obscure books. Not really us, who i can say likely read books full more of high fantasy and adventure. I make this assumption based on the sort of site this place is and the sort of novels we see on a daily basis.

    So, an alright site, but well, I or one am not too interested in it. Will browse more, however, see if there are any hidden gems.

    Referral links are considered spam and so I removed the referral part of the link. If someone wants to give you referral points, they can PM you for it.

    There's even tons of android applications in google play which have better function than this, you only need to download and open it on your phone and every 10 min (or depends on the time given) you can collect satoshis

    Bitcoins are useful for a lot of things. If you want to convert your time into bitcoin without going through all that bitcoin mining stuff. You can do this. I haven't tried it myself though.
