Wattpad - ebook community intel app

I am a book fanatic and a inspiring writer. My cravings of reading were mostly satisfied by the local library but it was very limited. As a budding writer i was very much interested in the modern literature but i was unable to buy new books without financial support. The area i live in is a bit isolated with very scarce population so we don't have things like book clubs or literature communities etc these made me feel very isolated and far from the literature culture. Whenever i read a good book i wanted to discuss it with somebody or debate it. So i was looking for a good book community where i can read books and give feedback, discuss it etc. Thats when i came across Wattpad.

Wattpad App
While browsing the Intel appup center i came across the wattpad app. In the description it called itself the YouTube of ebooks. This instantly caught my attention. I quickly downloaded and installed it. When i started the app i was very impressed by its user friendly design and simple navigation. In the beginning i thought it was just another ebook reader or something, but as i slowly started understanding all its features it got really interesting. It turned out to be just the thing i was seeking to be a part of the literature community.

It contains more than 1,00,000 free books including thousands of Guternberg titles conveniently divided into many categories like

You can use the search box or just browse through the categories to find something to read.


You can see the number of readers and the comments for the title by clicking on the comment button under the title. But beware sometimes it may contain spoilers. Many of the books and stories are published in parts which makes it even more interesting to read. To post comments you have to first register on the wattpad website. www.wattpad.com



It has a very simple ebook reader with very easy to use navigation. Using the info button you can go to the title on the wattpad website where you can interact with other readers and share your opinions and views. For me this is the best part as it provides the people a very good platform to interact with other people with the same interest. You can save the title which you liked, to read it later. The saved title will appear in the library section of the app when you start the it.



To use the wattpad app, first you will have to get the intel appup center and signup with them.





Then search for the wattpad app. Its free and the app center will download and install it for you. Start the app and enter the awesome world of literature. Enjoy!!!


Wattpad is basically a popular website. The app is a package which incorporates the most useful and necessary features of the website into a single entity which provides a window into the real website to make the user experience more easy and comfortable without the distractions of the website.
But if you want to experience it's full potential you should visit the website www.wattpad.com The website allows you to upload your own titles, this is a great boon for inspiring writers like me who can get valuable feedback from the reader. Now many of you may think that as the titles are free they would lack quality but it is not so. Many popular and famous writers voluntarily publish their titles on wattpad to get feedback and publicize the books. The app and website has become a inseparable part of my cyber life and if you are a hardcore literati like me, you too will find the app very useful.
