nimbooks: Innovative solutions for Digital Publication vendors.

Hi all! Been working on this project for quite some time now and thought would be a great thing submitting it to ProductHunt! As an avid reader I've felt for along time the lack of some kind of tool which would allow me to really be able to purchase my readings at whichever content vendor I wanted, then read them whenever and on whichever device I wanted. Nimbooks covers that necessity and more. At last, managing hundreds of manga is not a nightmare, searching for any issue of Hacker Magazine is possible from my mobile, and reading the latest Humble Bundle Fantasy book bundle on my Kindle, or Tablet, is piece of cake. Thank you for giving Nimbooks a spin and (hopefully) upvoting it. There's a lot more to implement, so all feedback is welcome both on feature requests and bug founds. We're available either here or via chat on Nimbooks. See you around!

@nicklekuona This is a genius idea! So does Nimbooks function as an ecosystem that supports all e-content?

@abadesi Glad you find it useful! :-) Intention is that you can use Nimbooks as your single repository for digital book/comic/magazine content, regardless of file format or source. You can consolidate your Kindle, Kobo, Google Books, or Humble Bundle stuff, with or without DRM, and read on the device of your choice, be e-ink reader, smartphone or tablet (we even convert formats if the target device does not support the original book file, say epub into mobi, or cbz into pdf). We even take care of fulfilling eBooks protected with Adobe DRM, so you don't need to use the dreaded Adobe Digital Editions app again; just borrow an eBook from your Overdrive-powered library, or buy from Kobo/Google and give us the acsm file: we'll do the DRM wrapping and deposit the eBook on your cloud bookcase. Obviously, some choices will still be incompatible and we won't be able to do anything about it (i.e. you won't be able to read Adobe DRM protected content on your Kindle, thank you paranoid publishers) but, at least, you'll have everything in a single place, we'll help you navigate the restrictions and, if any of your content vendors disappear one day (remember Sony, anyone?), your content will still be in your own cloud storage bucket so won't go poof! We're planning on adding Audiobook support too! ;-) Did I mention we have APIs for booksellers so they can send the eBooks straight to your Nimbooks Bookcase account, so zero downloads for you? (ever had to download a 500 MB a piece, 50 comic bundle from Humble Bundle? Then you know how this can be a real life-changer...) Could talk all day! XD Cheers!
