Important Changes Regarding Our Service As of June 10, 2016, eReaderIQ is no longer eligible to participate in the Amazon.com affiliate program. What this means is that we are no longer able to monetize this site simply by having users click on our links. Because of this, we will need to rely on our users' support to keep the site running. Our short term goal is to generate enough user support to cover the costs of operating the site. Click Here to Donate Long term, eReaderIQ could become a subscription based service. If it does, we will offer a free tier for our light-duty users, and pricing will increase based on how many books or authors you are tracking with our service. We will also look into an 'unlimited' pricing tier for users with larger lists. As of right now, eReaderIQ is free to use, and will more than likely continue to be free for browsing. We do not have any credit card information for any of our users, so no charges will be made without prior permission from our users. We thank you for your support and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We will try to make the transition as painless as possible. Please feel free to contact us with any questions. |
