If you are looking for a flowery, expert review for theReadingSite, this is not what you want. But if you would just like listen to my personal experiences with thereadingsite.com, I bet you won't go back disappointed. If you have already decided to become a member of theReadingSite, you can get to know some of its pluses and minuses before signing up. I have been using the service for over 2 months and I think it's pretty long time to discover its advantages and disadvantages. I'll be happy if my little info could help you take a decision. Read on.
What's theReadingSite all about?
For those unheard of TheReadingSite, here's what it offers. You can download ulimited ebooks, comics, newspapers and magazines at a one-time payment of $49.95.
How did I come to know about it?
I am a terrible book-reader but to read ebooks. But a friend misunderstood my love for books and gifted me a Kindle. Not wanting to refuse it bluntly, I decided to change my mindset and make the best use of it to read books during travel. It did serve the purpose amazingly and within few weeks, I got bored of free ebook downloading sites. Since I didn't have to spend money on my Kindle I was ready to join a paid membership to get better books. At that time, sites like MyPadMedia , TheReadingSite.com, TheNovelNetwork.com, Gutengurg.org were all very famous and there were rumors that most of them were scam. I spent some time reading TheReadingSite reviews and just checked out the Official Site.
Why I Chose this Product?
Believe me or not! I chose this just because I was lured by theReadingSite's official website, the books they contained and the support they offered. I am not a completely geeky person and so the 24X7 support was more important for me. I was too eager to become a member as I found Opera biography, which I couldn't find elsewhere.
My experiences with the product
I won't liberally give away the adjective "amazing" for theReadingSIte.com. I wouldn't rather give it away to any other e-book downloading service! But through my experience all I can say is that, you get more than what you pay for. Their collection is huge and diverse. Novels of all genre, comedies, romance and many other, though I often download only from the former category. The main advantage of the service is that you get to download even newspapers and magazines under the same roof. I have a craze over fashion magazines and TheReadingSite brought me my favorite Vogue. Altogether I have read over 100 novels along with the New York Times that I read every day and the fashion magazines I read at times. I don't read comics, so I have no use for their Manga or Marvel. But I downloaded a lot of them for my cousin. Till this moment I don't have any big trouble with this service except one thing. Why on earth don't they have installment facility? How can they expect all book lovers to be able to afford the membership? But only recently I came to know that dissatisfied users can get their money back. So, curious users will not lose anything just by signing up!
The best way to use the product
This is the way I used this service and I found it really effective. If you have a group of book readers, you can share the membership and sign up. Once one person downloads a book, it can be shared among the rest. We are a gang of five friends. When we shared the membership amount I just had to pay $9.9 and that's just half the money for one book in Amazon! So all those worried about the high initial payment can benefit this way.
