May 28, 2009 - Newport News (VA) - ArcaMax Publishing, Inc., is pleased to announce the launch of BookDaily.com -- where book readers can browse, search and read first chapters from a selection of more than 60,000 titles.
"Our mission with this site was to create a way for readers to sample books before buying them," said Scott Wolf, ArcaMax Publishing CEO. "We also wanted to have the best variety of free book content on the Internet. We believe 60,000 titles is a great start."
This way, a reader can browse and search large lists of books. Any title of interest along the way can be added to the reader's sample bookshelf. Readers may also read an unlimited amount of free sample chapters at any time on the site.
ArcaMax Publishing (www.arcamax.com), a leading provider of online news and entertainment, is the parent site for BookDaily. BookDaily launched Memorial Day weekend and received more than 16,000 page views generating 3500 email subscriptions and 3566 visits.

Currently ArcaMax.com has more than 5 million email newsletter readers in its 70 publications -- including popular syndicated features such as Garfield, Dear Abby, and The New Yorker cartoons.
"We promoted the site to current ArcaMax subscribers, and we are very pleased with traffic and newsletter subscriptions," Wolf said. "We came up with BookDaily technology based on what we do successfully at ArcaMax, which is sending out free content by email."
The company also hopes to form partnerships with publishers and authors, Wolf added. "The Internet has become a great place for talent to be discovered. We hope publishers and authors will find our site as a perfect place to get more readers." If a reader wants to read the complete version of a book once the first chapter is finished, BookDaily includes purchase links to the books below each sample.
BookDaily is currently accepting author biographies, interviews, book trailers and related media in furthering enhancing the reader’s experience and providing an opportunity for authors to feature their works.
