Neat idea. One potential issue I can see is someone wanting to read either more, or less, per day. In the case of more... I'm thinking "what if I get to a good part and want to read more today?" and in the case of less I'm thinking "great, I've got 20 'onesmallpage' emails piled up that I haven't read yet, delete and quit".

I didn't sign up to test, but if you're not doing so already, I'd definitely think about including some links/settings right in the emails that allow users to: adjust # of pages, etc... maybe even a "I don't really like this book, suggest something else" kind-of functionality.

Good luck!

Yeah the reason I decided not to do that is because I thought it might be a little bit cumbersome to the user...I really wanted to make everything as simple as possible. But now that I think about it, I think it's definitely a necessary feature and one that can be made to be simple
