Readimo vs Bookly
Readimo vs Bookly.Two timers, one feed.
Bookly and Readimo both time your reading sessions and turn them into stats. The difference is who else is there: Readimo puts your sessions in a feed your friends see, with kudos and comments, buddy reads to read a book together, and a streak counted in weeks. If you want a private timer, both work; if you read more when friends can see it, Readimo is built for that.
