BookShout! Updates Facebook Integration to Make Reading More Social

BookShout! today announced an update to its Facebook integration which includes it in the new Timeline app sections, providing a new way to share the books you love with friends. BookShout! is among the first apps you can now add to sections on your profile, enabling people to promote the books they're reading, engage in conversations and earn credits toward future book purchases.

Available on iOS, Android and the web, BookShout! enables readers to share and personalize the digital reading experience in unique and creative ways. When users join BookShout!, they can share their favorite books, passages and thoughts to Facebook, enabling friends to discover new titles and enjoy rich collaborative reading experiences.

Social loyalty is rewarded as well. The more friends you invite who join you on BookShout!, the more dollars you'll earn to spend in the store. Readers can then search books by categories, see what other friends are reading, sort by most popular and new releases, interact with authors, join or start new reading circles, or add favorite books to their Facebook Book section.

BookShout!'s integration with Facebook is a win for everyone involved. Authors and publishers can better understand their audiences, and readers can leverage "word of mouth" to discover new books and stay connected to one another.

"Facebook took an important step for book lovers today, allowing friends to explore new literary content," said Jason Illian, CEO of BookShout!. "The most exciting part is, this is just the beginning. In the coming months, BookShout! will deploy additional tools and integrations to make social discovery and sharing of books even easier."

BookShout! is a digital reading platform that empowers authors and publishers to connect and communicate with their audiences. By providing unique marketing and sales tools, BookShout! is redefining what it means to create, sell, buy and read a book. Based in Dallas, Texas, BookShout! features more than 250 publishers and is available on iOS, Android and the web. For more information, please visit www.bookshout.com.
