The problem with reading long works
online -- too much text on the page. Endless scrolling wastes time, and
it's difficult to save your place in the middle of a page. Page by Page
solves this problem by putting one page length worth of text on each
screen, so the experience is similar to reading an old-fashioned, dead-tree
book. This makes for easy reading of hundreds of classics, all available
here for free. Peruse the author list for everything from John Adams'
inaugural speech to Edith Wharton's tale of old New York, The Age of
Innocence. View texts by title to find stories like Adventure by Jack
London, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle, and The
Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. In no time, you'll be curling
up with a hot pot of tea and your computer monitor. (in Collections)
