Terms of use
Last updated 10 November 2026
These terms are the agreement between you and Wider Reading when you use this site. By using it you accept them. If you don't agree, please don't use the site. How we handle your data is in our privacy notice.
Who we are
Wider Reading is run by Olivia Jayeola, a sole trader in the United Kingdom. Contact: hello@widerreading.com.
Using Wider Reading
Wider Reading is free. You can read every page without an account. The first time you save something, we make a guest account for your browser; you can sign in with Google, Microsoft or Yahoo to keep your books on other devices.
- Keep your sign-in to yourself. You're responsible for what is done with your account.
- A guest account nobody has used for 13 months is deleted, with everything in it.
- You can delete your account at any time from My account.
What you add and share
Your library, notes, lists and plans are yours. You let us store and show them so the site works for you. A list you make public can be seen by anyone with its link, until you make it private again.
Please don't put anything in a list name or note, or share anything, that:
- is unlawful, hateful, threatening or harassing
- contains someone else's personal details
- infringes someone else's rights, or advertises or spams
We may remove such content, or close an account that breaks these terms, and we'll tell you why if we can.
Please don't
- copy the site's content or data in bulk, or scrape it with automated tools
- try to get around the site's limits (such as the number of price searches), or overload or attack it
- try to reach other readers' accounts or data
Prices, shops and book details
Prices and listings come from eBay and the bookshops we search, at the time shown. They can change or be wrong, and a converted price is approximate. Always check the price, the edition and the condition on the shop's own page before you buy.
We don't sell books. You buy from the shop, under its terms, and the shop is responsible for the sale, delivery and returns. Some links earn us a commission: see our affiliate disclosure.
Book details and covers come partly from Open Library and other public sources. Our recommendations and notes are our own opinions, to help you choose: they aren't a substitute for your course's reading list or your teachers' advice.
Our responsibility to you
We work to keep the site accurate and running, but we can't promise it will always be available or free of mistakes, and we may change or stop features. Nothing in these terms limits your rights under consumer law, or our liability where the law doesn't allow it to be limited (such as for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or fraud). Otherwise, because the site is free, we aren't responsible for losses that come from using it, such as a price that turned out to be wrong.
Changes to these terms
If these terms change, the date at the top changes too. If a change matters to how you use the site, we'll tell you on the site before it applies.
The law
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. If you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you can also bring a claim in your local courts. If you have a problem, please email us first: hello@widerreading.com.
