My initial thought when viewing the site was "what does this site do?". After clicking around quickly I still didn't quite get it until I came back here and read your description.

I think it's because you have two images and one is a screenshot of an email inbox. I think this may be confusing because the headings you have on them aren't quite visible at first glance. My suggestion would be to make it more visible or put some more description/explanation of your service like you have described right in this post here! I think that would clear up what the purpose of your app is.

Also on the page of book listings you may want to make each "book row" clickable. Possibly put a subtle background on mouse over and when they click it sends them to the page to enter their email. This makes it a bit more user friendly instead of scanning right and finding the appropriate "Start reading now" link.

Great idea though, I can find this useful reading the email on my smartphone on my way to school!

That's interesting. Should I put the slogan more to the top of the page then? I'll definitely do something about making the columns clickable that's great thanks man
