Novelry looks to be the online bookstore when it comes to discoverability http://www.teleread.com/discoverability/novelry-looks-online-bookstore-comes-discoverability/ http://www.teleread.com/discoverability/novelry-looks-online-bookstore-comes-discoverability/#comments Thu, 05 Jun 2014 17:39:48 +0000 http://www.teleread.com/?p=114040 Sometimes it can be difficult to find the kind of book you want.
