Pardon the broken threading. You'll have to let me know the etiquette.
In any case, now that we had that renderer as a base, we knew we could address another technical annoyance with digital books: getting the books you want, where you want them.
For this we developed a suite of "embassies," or portals: pieces of software that let you send things to your physical device.
An underlying idea behind the reading experience on daylight is the creation of sacred space for deep work and the consequential reading we all want to do. So being able to consecrate a piece of writing you want to read by setting it aside there was important. It makes you treat "browsing" differently.
Think Pocket or Instapaper, except the things you save go to your "serious" reading device, instead of your phone or laptop. So you can email, send from phone with 2 taps, and drag items from your desktop, and it all goes to your daylight library.
