Confidential! Coming late January 2025
Please keep the following news confidential as we roll out communications leading up to the launch in order to generate excitement and anticipation among NetGalley members.
The NetGalley Reader is our proprietary in-browser reader, and one of the recommended Reading Options. When enabled, it offers a simple and secure reading experience to approved members in a web browser with a single click. No downloads or software required!
NetGalley Reader will be available as a default Reading Option in your NetGalley Account Settings, as well as in the Settings section on individual Title Details pages beginning in late January 2025.
The NetGalley Reader offers industry-best digital content protection on the web! It combines sophisticated cryptography techniques to lock digital content to specific members and devices, with protections to prevent decrypted content from being lifted from the browser.
Book content cannot be accessed by another member's NetGalley account, since the NetGalley Reader verifies that the member is authenticated and approved to view that book. NetGalley tracks when the book content was accessed and on how many devices.
For ePub and PDF files accessed via the NetGalley Reader:
- Members will not be able to print the file.
- The content cannot be copied.
- The file will expire 55 days after the book’s archive date.
At this time, the NetGalley Reader supports ePub and PDF files. Members will continue to use the NetGalley Shelf app (iOS and Android) as the exclusive way to listen to audiobooks.
