Books, our third channel is live. π
Many people asked, "why books?" @eriktorenberg goes into details of why in this post.
We also have dozens of AMA's with amazing authors over the next few months (schedule here) including @neilstrauss today at 10am PST to chat about his upcoming book, The Truth, and @valleyhack at 11:30am PST to discuss the Elon Musk biography.
We have a bunch of updates I'm anxious to release, including on-site book previews, audiobook integration, and more. Please add your thoughts, feedback, and ideas here. π
@rrhoover would love to see this integrated into the 'new tab' PH chrome extension. Would be great if I could tab between Products, Games, & Books all from that page
@eriktorenberg, @lejlahunts, @rrhoover, @ems_hodge, @ayrtonbe, @shaunmodi & @stephnbain, as you were honing in on Books for your next category, did you have a conversation internally about how comment threads would be effected? If so, what where did you all end up?
I ask b/c my favorite thing about PH are the conversations around all of the new products & services.
I imagine these threads are so lively [and large] because it's relatively easy for someone to take a few minutes to try, and subsequently, form an opinion about what's been posted. Books on the other hand, take much longer and lead me to think conversations could suffer as a result.
Great work!
This is awesome! Congrats guys! :)
Are there any plans to introduce a default "Read later" button/collection for this?
The tech category is a bit different because you can immediately register for, download or bookmark the products you like.
I usually bookmark (no pun intended) books I like to read on Goodreads but it would be more convenient to do it directly on PH.
Would love to hear your thoughts on this!

@lehrjulian this! I started a to-read collection but not sure if that's the best use of a collection related to books. I'd like a read later function or integration with Good Reads, because it would be great to save books here or have more Product Hunt type people using Good Reads :)
