Dropbox buys social reader Readmill

Reading is mostly a solitary affair but Readmill wanted to give readers a space to add notes to help fuel discussion and keep track of relevant or funny quotes as well as important plot points. Dropbox seems to like the idea and has bought Readmill.

According to a post on Readmill’s site: “Our team will be joining Dropbox, where our expertise in reading, collaboration and syncing across devices finds a fitting home. Millions of people use Dropbox to store and share their digital lives, and we believe it’s a strong foundation on which to build the future of reading. We’re delighted to work alongside this talented team and imagine new ways to read together.”
