"We love our Facebook fans. It has been exciting to see our social community grow so quickly. I really think the response has blown us away. Their passion for books and reading inspires us on a daily basis. They are an important part of everything we do. They've inspired our product to be where it is now and have helped us map where we will take it in the future. I'm honored to have been a part of this community from the start, and I think our success shows that book lovers are still very much engaged," said Sarah Hill, Vice President of Product.
