We’re doing it together! Overwhelmed with how many ppl want to support indie. Truly, the book community is elite & we are powerful!
Pagebound is a new reading tracker/app that’s like if Goodreads & Reddit had a baby. Join 35,000 other readers and create an account at pagebound.co (web for now, app coming in a week!)

I get these comments all the time, which is so confusing to me…so you want a monopoly? Do people ask indie bookstores why they exist when Amazon exists?
Do people pit female founded companies against each other in other spaces? As readers, I’d hope we have the empathy to understand that other ppl have different preferences than ourselves, and all the Goodreads alternatives out there (some of which are not even indie) are serving their own communities that love them

But Lucy Zhao does.
"Reading is so core to my identity that I made it my job. After years of working with tech bros, it's a breath of fresh air to be surrounded by brilliant readers discussing books all day. We have so much power: to fight against AI, to advocate for indie creators & more diverse stories. Pagebound emerged from these values, and it's an honor to celebrate another company that makes reading an exciting part of people's lives.”
—Lucy Zhao, Cofounder of Pagebound

We have no algorithms and don’t show public follower accounts so it’s about community, not clout

Being anti-AI is actually a competitive advantage: humans > AI slop any day
Join the 150K other readers who agree on Pagebound—we’re like if Goodreads & Reddit had a baby, but indie, built by 2 women, and absolutely no AI, ever. We don’t do algorithms, ads, or influencers either, so it’s the closest an online community can get to analog.
