With Thanksgiving over, the hunt for great gifts is on. We are therefore excited to be offering DailyLit gift subscriptions.
Giving the gift of literature has never been easier. You pick the book, the date for sending the gift and a gift message. We do all the rest. Even better, we let you include a short message with every installment. No need to worry about selecting a color, choosing the right size, or buying early for on-time shipping. In fact, with DailyLit your gift can be delivered the
same day (of course you can also pick any date in the future).
DailyLit gift subscriptions are great not just for the holidays, but also birthdays and any other gift giving occasion. As our gift to you, gift subscriptions to our classic titles are free. So, gift away!

Emails not getting delivered? Don’t want to give out your email address? Fear not, for now you can subscribe via RSS. For those of you already happily reading blogs and other sites via RSS go ahead and pick a book. For those of you thinking “RSS what?” you may want to watch the following video which provides a great introduction.

If you have a blog you can now show others what you are reading on DailyLit. First you need to register. Once you are logged in click on “Home” and under the Manage heading you will see a link to Add a book roll to your blog. On that page you can pick a few options and then all you have to do is copy the code and paste it into your blog template. You can see an example of the blog roll in action on the right.

We have had a lot of requests for books available under various Creative Commons licenses. Happy to report that we have just released support for this by adding a link to the correct license at the beginning of each email. Our first title is Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom by Cory Doctorow and we will be adding more titles shortly. Please post suggestions in the book request forum.

Thanks to the many readers who have contributed feature suggestions, book requests and text corrections. These help us make DailyLit better. In fact, based on a suggestion we just rolled out a feature that let’s you view installments online for those cases where an installment has been blocked by spam filters. We have also been adding books based on requests, including parts of the King James Bible. Keep the feedback coming!
