Hi Everybody, I just launched a web app called onesmallpage which aims to help you read more by emailing you a page (or more) of a book of a book every day. I'd like to hear your feedback on the design and functionality of the site. Also any feature requests, or discussions about the future of the site would be more than welcome.

Basically the site came out of the idea that I do a lot of reading every day, but most of it isn't reading great books. I read my email, Facebook, Twitter, and a host of other websites every day and I thought that if I could channel at least a little bit of that reading into book reading I would be a more productive and well-rounded person.

Right now I'm pulling about 100 out-of-copyright books from Project Gutenberg for you to choose from. If the site gets popular I plan to add the entire catalog.

The way it works is you find a book that you want to read, enter your email, and we will send you up to 5 pages of that book a day.

Thanks for any feedback! Dan
