Don’t use Kindle to find your next great read—use this free app instead
Reading is great. Finding something to read is annoying. We all know the saying “don’t judge a book by its cover,” but what else are you supposed to judge a book by? Whether you’re walking through a bookstore or library or scrolling through a collection on your favorite reading device, the cover is inevitably going to be the first thing you notice. Maybe the art will stand out, or maybe you’ll…
Don't rely solely on Kindle to discover your next favorite book—turn to a free app called Uncovered.ink instead. This innovative platform offers a unique approach to finding new reads by presenting only the opening chapter, cutting out the cover art and initial judgments.
To begin, simply visit the site and you'll instantly see a preview of a book's first chapter, allowing you to scroll through and choose a new story without any sign-in or account creation. The site supports desktop computers, and you can navigate using the arrow keys.
With around 1,500 books available, you can explore multiple genres until you find something that captures your interest. When you find a book you like, the cover, title, author, and a link to purchase or borrow the physical copy are revealed.
For even more recommendations, sign up for the weekly email newsletter or the daily RSS feed, which delivers fresh excerpts from new books. As a web-based tool, it works seamlessly across any device without any downloads or personal information required. Treat yourself to this clever app that enhances your reading experience, courtesy of the free Cool Tools newsletter.
