BookSignal: Book Discovery

BookSignal

About this app

Most book apps recommend what everyone else is reading. BookSignal finds what YOU should be reading.

Take a short taste survey and BookSignal builds your personal reading fingerprint: how you feel about pacing, tone, humor, violence, romance level, ending types, and more than a dozen other dimensions of story. Every book on BookSignal has been analyzed the same way, from the actual manuscript, not the marketing copy. When the fingerprints line up, you get a match.

WHAT YOU GET

• Best Match feed: books scored against your personal taste profile, not a bestseller list
• Book Fingerprints: see each book's pacing, atmosphere, emotional intensity, romance level and more before you commit
• Honest content notes: tropes and content warnings up front, so there are no unwelcome surprises
• Your shelf: save books to your TBR, mark them Read, or set aside the ones that are not for you
• Quick feedback: rate what you finish and your matches get sharper
• Buy where you like: every book links out to Amazon, Apple Books, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, Google Play Books, Smashwords, or direct from the author

WHY EMPHASIZE INDIE BOOKS?

Independent authors write some of the most original fiction being published today, but discovery is broken. Great books get buried because nobody is paying to promote them. BookSignal levels the field by matching books to readers on substance: what is actually inside the story.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Answer a short survey about your reading taste (about 3 minutes)
2. Browse your matches, each scored against your fingerprint
3. Save what looks good, buy from the store you prefer, and tell us how it went
4. Your matches improve with every book you rate

BookSignal is free for readers. No ads, no bestseller lists, no algorithmic bandwagons. Just books that fit the way you read.

Note: BookSignal is a discovery service. Books are read in the store or app where you buy them.
