I think it would be really cool if in addition to all the tools already available on lichess, we could also purchase and study books. There are currently apps like 'Forward Chess', 'e+ Chess Books', and 'Chess Studio' on iOS that facilitate chess book reading. They have really helpful tools like an integrated engine and chessboard with scrollable moves that make reading any chess book really easy. But these apps do leave things to be desired, so I think that having the ability to purchase and read books from lichess would be not only really helpful if done well, but also provide a nice source of income for the site while still being entirely free to use. Are others interested in this, and would this be feasible.
your suggestion will NEVER be accepted as it is a clearly violation of the site policy ,which is EVERYTHING IS FREE !
I agree in the idea of creating a platform for "reading books" and uploading more and more books. Advanced players could write articles like Masters and advanced player do at Chess.com.
Haha yeah it isn't quite free. But the service of providing the opportunity could still be free, we would just be paying the authors through lichess. But either way Dr-Zaitzev has a good point I didn't think of, that this could even be done entirely freely by having games annotated by Masters and then available to read like an ebook.
