The sites allow subscribers to easily access new titles, take notes, add bookmarks, and create a library of titles viewed. The reader itself contains tools to zoom in on text or images and change orientation and layout. F+W has planned the release of seven additional  ebook subscription sites dedicated to writing, design, firearms, woodworking, genealogy, craft, and romance fiction.  “The technology, content, and messaging came together seamlessly – in part thanks to our partners at Impelsys. This allows us to replicate the model across our communities, quickly,” added Phelps.

At the moment the art community site provides access to more than 100 art instruction titles. New books will be added weekly.
A personal subscription to this library costs $199/year.
