Do readers pay?
Never, on any plan. Readers read, leave notes and collect their stamps for free. Only the author’s plan decides how many readers a book can have.
When will you start charging?
Not during the closed beta: everyone in it uses Quire free while we build it. Before paid plans begin we’ll tell you the final prices, and founding members keep the price they signed up at.
