The site is definitely misleading. The first clue is that it claims to offer current bestsellers for free and does not directly explain how copyrights are respected. Out of fairness to the authors' intellectual property, we should avoid any site that can't explain that key point. Amazon offers specials and free books that surely comply with legal requirements and I've gotten several from them.
Joined@ $49.95, and downloaded several books. Later, when I attempted to download again, could not log in. Since then, the site has completely disappeared from the web, except for one site, that does not allow log in. This site is an out and out scam.
Your review will help others learn about this website.
I paid The Reading Site $49.95 for lifetime membership.
I failed to write down my user name and password.
Accordingly, I could not access the site.
Seven emails to two different email addresses, and no reply.
I can't connect with this site to get my refund.
I'm thinking that The Reading Site is a bleeding scam.
Any help in contacting The Reading Site will be greatly appreciated.

Purchased unlimited use of reading site for down loading books, magazines, newspapers, on the 22 of july. They were to send an e-mail so I could get my user name and pass word. As of to date 29th of July I have made two calls and was informed that they could only return my money. Why can this company just send me the e-mail to get onto the site.
I was looking for online libraries and saw a link to thereadingsite. I didn't like the way the audio came blasting from my speakers as soon as it loaded. I read what they were "selling" and decided to see if anyone else had anything to say about it. The first few reviews in the yahoo search were obviously from the site, self-promos with the same loud audio. I found my way to this site and was pleased that there was info to stay away. When I tried to close the tabs with that site on it, it had pop-ups asking if I was sure. I used Alt-F4 to close the browser. Stay away from it and it's sister site thereadingsite.net!
This site is a joke. I paid and they did not have anything that I wanted for free. Of course everything I wanted was for purchase. I then went back the same day and requested a refund, since the offer a 60 day refund, nothing. I have not heard back at all. Stay away!
I purchased this product in May and still have not been able to get on the site for e books... i have contacted the "company" numberous times over the last 6 weeks for help or a refund... no contact at all... what good is the "60 day" refund policy if you can't get a hold of them... I am contacting the better business bureau... I paid by credit card... hopefully I can get a refund... DO NOT GO TO THIS SITE THEY ARE A RIP OFF!
I tried to get on after purchasing a membership and made it only once (now I can't even upload it) and when I did get on it wouldn't accept the username and password it gave me after my purchase. Paid with credit card so not sure I can get money back.
A complete fraud - please don't waste your money - it only diverts you to a website www.feedbooks.com which has some paid and some royalty free books on their site.
I paid my money like everyone else. At first apart from staight after I signed in there were no games, T. V or movies as such, I thought no problem I really just wonted the books. After that as I was trying to get a E Reader that sooted as the first to also were no good. Still looking but not anymore. So the other week I went to go over to site & had problems so deceide to put as Favorite as I believed that would solve it. Big joke when I went to try & sign in no go as I was trying to go through all options I came across this & after reading I have deceided I will except it as is & give it a miss. Lesson learnt. I do have to say they go to big efforts imagine the money they pull, still doesn't mean it Whright I would rather be broke & sleep well I wonder if they do. Zowie phillips
Agree with all who report its a scam. Unfortunately - they sucked me for $30 (PayPal). Anyone get there money back from the 60-day "Bulletproof" Money-back guarantee? (stop laughing)
I just paiid my $50:00 (Though Paypal) and got my "Membershp" to get unlimited download of "Popular" and "Best Sellers". All I got is a link to feedbooks.com which is a USELESS website for public domain books and people that want to self publiish their own books. A search on the Internet (On Google) got a lot of self promotion reviews for the website. I attempted to contact them through their "Support" page and based on that proces I think they are a MAJOR SCAM and plan to contact Paypal to cancel the payment and may file a complaint for FRAUD
Charges you to get to a free website. Totally misleading
