OPDS feed in my upcoming epub reading app

[Patrick]

Hello,

I wanted to integrate Standard Ebooks into my upcoming epub reading app, a mobile app.

Can I bundle my Patron email into the app so all users can access the OPDS feed?

Or each single user should authenticates with their credentials?

Because it doesn’t clearly say on https://standardebooks.org/feeds

Thanks in advance for your help!

Clearly this is Alex's call, but I would think that your patron credentials are YOUR patron credentials, not for different people using a third-party app.

One possibility that occurs to me is that you could include the OPDS `new-releases` feed which isn't (I believe) listed on the feeds page:

https://standardebooks.org/feeds/opds/new-releases

That might encourage your app's users also to support Standard Ebooks by *becoming* patrons!

Just a thought...
