      Now that we have Coins in smaller denominations than Premium Credits, would it be possible to buy limited-time access to a book instead of buying it outright? This access would of course need to be limited to just the pre-pubs (similar to catch-ups) as there would be no way to enforce a return on a DRM-free ebook.

        This sounds like one of those things where it could be done, but the code to support it doesn't exist.

          y? the buying of a book is better, as you get a personalized copy...

          it could be done though

          I wanted to have a witty signature once I saw some of the ones some guys on the Bookworm forums had but None of the ones I thought felt witty enough...
          The solution: Fuck it, I'll go Commando!

            This apparently exists now though I haven't seen an announcement. My Android app suddenly has a "Rentals" tab!

              @louissta Yes, please see this news topic: https://forums.j-novel.club/topic/6674/introducing-rental-system

              A lot of staff are out of the office right now, so we'll be announcing it on social media and such before long!

              Whoever said nothing's impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.

                @louissta As Chi said, we've launched the feature on iOS and android now (as well as the web), so with everything "working" we will start to hype it up more on social media/newsletters, etc!
