Books2Read is a service focused on helping readers discover independent books and find them at the stores they prefer. Its Universal Links give authors one shareable link for a book, directing readers to available retailers rather than requiring a separate link for each store. Readers can set a Preferred Store, with options including Amazon, Tolino, and Nook, and use the service to find a book wherever they choose to shop. Books2Read describes its service as free and aims to make discovering appealing books easier.

The site also provides tools and resources for authors. Authors can create Universal Links, build an author page, set up custom URLs, use link tools, and manage their activity through an author dashboard. Additional features include affiliate codes and reading lists. The website offers author and general FAQs, account management, and information about its terms, privacy policy, and accessibility. By bringing book discovery and retailer links together, Books2Read serves both independent authors seeking a straightforward way to share their books and readers looking for convenient access to them.
