The following is Readmill's article on the official web site:

Three years ago, we were committed to creating an open and independent reading platform. We are convinced that the reading experience can be great and can be used to share.

After creating the Readmill, we rolled out iOS and Android apps. We are proud of the products we have developed, and we are more grateful to the readers who have helped us grow. The story of Readmill is over. Many e-book areas of problems and challenges have not been resolved. We have not been able to create a sustainable reading platform. We are deeply sorry for this.

Starting today, users will no longer be able to create new accounts on Readmill. July 1 This year, Readmill application will be officially off the shelves. In the next three months, our first priority is to help people move to other services. All your readings on the Readmill can be derived in different formats. Our team will also join Dropbox. Millions of of users are using Dropbox to store and share. We are confident that Dropbox can provide us with a more solid development platform.
