About Copia

-
..Copia, is the social reading platform.




To try to make this vision real, Copia’s platform has three parts:

• a social-networking website, where you connect with friends and other readers of the same books to discuss what you’re reading, share recommendations and ratings. To make connecting a little easier, you can sign in with a Facebook account, or create a separate Copia account. Once you’re in, Copia can connect with LinkedIn and Twitter, too.
• a desktop e-reading client for Mac and PC where you can buy books through the Copia store (EPUB with Adobe DRM, so you’ll need an Adobe account) and read those books on your desktop or laptop. You can also read PDFs or DRM-free EPUB files in the client.
• An iPad app that like the desktop, includes both your e-book library and the store.
