Ask HN: Any way to create ebook reader on top of Kindle/iBooks?

2 pointsby sazaryover 6 years ago
Hi<p>I&#x27;m thinking about creating an ebook reader as a personal project, but I don&#x27;t have any intention to enter ebook selling business!<p>I mean, I&#x27;m just considering creating a simple reader, and I want it to be useful (surprise!), so I want to be easy for users to add their books, and since most of us buy our books from Kindle or iBooks, I want to know if there&#x27;s any public or private API or any other way that I could fetch bought books from the user&#x27;s account, sync progress, save notes, ...?<p>P.S.: I know you could buy books from one of these and then pirate it, but hey, I don&#x27;t want to incite users to illegal behaviour!
