No. There is no download button, no file to save and no print view. Readers see one chapter at a time in their browser. That is the whole point: your unpublished book stays yours. You, on the other hand, can export every comment whenever you like, as a spreadsheet or a Word document.
One InkCircle account can hold several author identities. A reader invited to a book under one pen name never sees that the others exist — not the books, not the name, nothing. Useful if you write in more than one genre, or under more than one name. You can add pen names from your desk at any time.
Free to start: one manuscript, five readers, and every part of the reading and feedback tools. Paid plans lift those limits. The full list is on the pricing page.
Word (.docx), EPUB (.epub) and Markdown (.md). Chapters are worked out from your headings. Plain .txt is deliberately not accepted, so a stray notes file cannot become a manuscript by accident.
They follow the paragraph. InkCircle identifies each paragraph by its words, not by its position, so a comment on chapter seven stays on that paragraph even if you add three chapters before it. A comment on a paragraph you rewrote is kept against the draft it was written on, and you can still read it.
Yes. Switch on the NDA gate for a book and readers must agree before the first page appears. Their agreement is stored with the time and date. You can write your own wording or use the one InkCircle provides.
Yes. Open the book, choose Chapters, and rewrite the one you want. Every other chapter stays word for word as it was, and the feedback on them comes across untouched.
No. The link you were sent is your way in. No password, no sign-up, nothing to remember. Keep the link — it is yours alone, and it also remembers where you stopped reading.
Select the words you want to talk about. A small box opens beside them. Write whatever you like — there is no length limit — pick one label such as Pacing or Confusion, and save. You can also just tap a reaction on a line without writing anything.
Yes. Open a chapter once while you have signal and it stays on your device. Anything you write on the train is kept on the phone and sent by itself when you are back online. The page tells you when it is holding something.
Yes — every comment, its label, and which paragraph it was about. They can also see how far you have read. They cannot see anything you type and do not save.
Ask the author. They can mark you as somebody never to nudge, and you stay on the book with your link still working.
