Real titles behind the example above. The profile is built from the pattern in what a reader finishes, abandons and keeps, not from the genre.

01How it works

Your book taste is not a genre. It is a pattern in what you finish, abandon and keep.

Finish

The baseline signal

Every book you get to the end of tells us something about pace, prose and structure that a star rating cannot.

Abandon

The strongest signal

What you put down at 40 per cent, and why, is worth more than five books you rated four stars. We ask for the reason in one tap.

Keep

The rarest signal

The handful of books you would never give away. They anchor your profile, and we weight them accordingly.

The Reading DNA builds a personal taste profile from your real reading behaviour, then explains why certain books and audiobooks may fit you. The more you add, the sharper it gets.

02Recommendations
Project Hail Mary
An example from the beta · Project Hail Mary, Andy Weir

Why it fits

You tend to finish fast-paced books with clear prose, dry humour, and problem-solving momentum.

Problem-solvingDry humourFound family

Every recommendation in the product carries a written reason like this one. It is generated from your profile and the book's DNA, then kept with the pick.

03  ·  Audiobooks

Which version should you listen to?

A book can have five audiobook editions and five different narrators. The difference decides whether you finish. We recommend the edition, the narrator, and whether the book works better read or heard.

On audio, for you

A good fit. Listen rather than read.

Ray Porter edition

Warm, quick and funny under pressure. A single voice that carries the science without slowing the story.

One edition on record for this title. Other versions appear here as they are verified, never before.

An example from the beta. Narrators are people worth following; every narrator name in the product links to a profile when one has been written.

04Our standards

Honest when the data is thin.

We never invent a rating, a narrator or a fit. When a book has no audiobook on record, we say so. When your profile is built from five books, we tell you it is early. The product improves as you add more, and it will say exactly how.

248,000 books in the catalogue. About 10,000 carry a full Book DNA so far. We say which.

Abandoned is a first-class status, with a reason, in three taps or fewer.

Audiobook fit is always labelled as taste-based guidance, never as fact.

Kept means something. We treat it as your strongest yes and give it weight.
