The more you learn, the more you realize how much there is to learn.
From Trip Adler
Entrepreneurship is about tackling big problems - often non-obvious problems - that will have a meaningful impact on the world, and this usually involves solving these problems in counterintuitive ways.
I think the most important trait for an entrepreneur is persistence. When you try to do something new and difficult, you are more likely to fail than to succeed.
When most people hit failure, they give up, but good entrepreneurs simply treat failure as a learning experience and use it to fuel and inform their next move.
I'm not sure I'd go back and do anything over in my life. I've definitely had my fair share of failures and moments where I wasted my time or that of other people, but if I did those moments over, I'd have missed out on so many lessons.
If we're going to build hardware, the thing we want to do is build reading goggles, so you can do hands-free reading.
Holding a book you're reading is kind of old-school.
Books is our main type of content, but we include user-generated content and will include other verticals such as scientific papers, sheet music, and comic books.
We realized the best way to monetize content was through a subscription model.
Just as it can be addictive to be in a real world bookstore or library, it's the same on the Web.
