ABOUT bind

What bind is working to change

01

Meet organically

It can be difficult to meet people naturally in big cities or while travelling.

02

Return to analogue

Reading rates are declining; bind supports a return to books and analogue living.

03

Read sustainably

Keeping books in circulation reduces waste and supports more sustainable reading.

A SIMPLE BOOK-SWAP LOOP

From your shelf to someone else’s

Add your books, find a swap nearby and meet another reader to trade.

01

Build your shelf

Add the books you’ve finished and are ready to pass on.

02

Find your next read

Find a book you want nearby and offer one of your available books in return.

03

Meet and swap

Chat through the swap request, agree on a public meeting place and swap books in person.

Go further with bind premium

Events and meetups

Join community events and selected premium meetups.

Advanced discovery

Use extra filters and personalised recommendations to find your next read.
