More ways in than a title search
Search when you know what you want. When you don't, browse by genre, topic, theme or trope, follow a series in reading order, work through curated and reader-made lists, or start from an author you already trust. Where trope filtering supports it, you can include the tropes you want and leave out the ones you don't.
- Search plus genre, topic, theme and trope browsing
- Series in reading order, including completed series
- Curated editorial lists and reader-made lists
Start from anywhere
- Genres, topics, themes and tropes
- Series and complete-series browsing
- Kindle Unlimited availability
- Curated and community lists
- Authors, publishers and imprints

- EPUB and PDF, scroll or pages, focus mode
- Bookmarks, highlights and private notes
- Search, table of contents and saved position

Get review copies in exchange for honest reviews

- Find a review copy
- Apply
- Get selected
- Accept the copy
- Open My Reading

What you get out of it
- Read books before or around release
- Support authors you want to see succeed
- Read the copy inside BookNami, no file juggling
- Build reader reputation by keeping your commitments
Honest, not positive
- You commit to reading and reviewing
- A positive review is never a condition
- Campaign owners see whether you finished, not what you wrote in your notes
Stay close to the authors you follow
Following an author, series or publisher means their new books and posts land in your feed and notifications. Where it's supported you can tune what you hear about per author, so following someone doesn't mean hearing about everything.
- Follow authors, series and publishers
- New releases surfaced in reading order
- Author updates in a feed you control
You decide what reaches you
- Manage everyone you follow in one place
- Per-author notification preferences where supported
- Updates in your feed, not an algorithm's
Reviewing well is worth something here
Reviews, kept commitments and community participation build your reader level and earn badges. Choose which badges to feature on your public reader profile. Reputation helps campaign owners judge applications — it doesn't guarantee you'll be picked.
- Experience and reader levels
- Badges, including ones you feature on your profile
- A review history that shows you follow through
How it builds
- Write reviews for books you finish
- Keep the review commitments you make
- Take part in the community
- Feature your best badges publicly

Free to read with. Clear about what's paid.
Reader accounts, discovery, shelves, follows, reviews, BookNami Reader access and review-copy applications cost nothing. The paid parts of BookNami — optional AI credits and marketplace payments — are for the people making and selling books, not for readers. Sponsored or promoted content, if introduced, will always be labelled.
