Frequently asked questions

LinQfolio is a literary social networking app: reader profiles, quick ISBN-scan adding, reviews, Reading DNA, reading clubs, messaging, and book-swap proposals between readers.

LinQfolio is available on iOS and Android through the official app stores. The linqfolio.com website presents the product; the core experience is designed for mobile.

You offer books from your personal library, browse other readers’ listings, and use messaging to arrange a swap. LinQfolio makes the introduction; shipping or handing the book over in person is up to your agreement.

Yes. The app is free on iOS and Android, with no credit card required to sign up: the feed, reading circles, and book swaps are free.

No. LinQfolio accompanies your reading, whether in print, on an e-reader, or in audio: it’s neither a bookshop nor an ebook reader, but the feed that connects your reading to that of the readers you follow.

No. LinQfolio is spelled with a Q and refers only to the social network for readers published by LINQFOLIO SAS in Paris: the iOS and Android app presented on linqfolio.com. Services with similar names, such as Linkfolio or Linfolio, have no connection with us.
