Lint

Lint is an app and website that helps you actually use your classic nonfiction ebook collection—especially when you don’t know what to read next. Instead of treating your library like a static archive, Lint turns it into something closer to an engaging feed: you can shuffle through books, sample chapters, and quickly surface writing that matches your current interests.

A standout feature is the ability to create a custom ebook from selected chapters based on a query. If you’re researching a travel destination, for example, you can pull together the most relevant chapters across multiple public-domain nonfiction works into one focused read, saving time and making discovery more purposeful. You can read directly on the site for free, or sign up to send books wirelessly to your Kindle—making it easy to move from discovery to long-form reading without losing momentum.

Lint is built for readers who love curated libraries but struggle to find the time (or the entry point) to dive in. By enabling quick exploration and chapter-level remixing, it helps you uncover overlooked gems, keep a steady reading habit, and turn “someday I’ll read that” into “I’m reading it now.”
