Why do you charge for reading novels in the browser now?

There was a fee to use the Baidu browser to read novels. This was because the Baidu browser itself was free, but the content of the novels was provided by third-party websites. These websites might charge fees through encryption, filtering, and other methods. If you want to read a novel in Baidu, you should first understand the copyright of the novel and confirm whether the novel is allowed to be viewed on Baidu. Some websites that restricted access to novels might use illegal encryption techniques to make the viewing process unstable or even cause the account to be banned. If you want to watch paid novels, it is recommended to go to a formal online reading platform such as Baidu Reading, Baidu Reading, etc. The novels provided by these platforms are all authorized and support online payment. At the same time, they should also pay attention to copyright issues to avoid being used by criminals.

The choice of browser mainly depended on the needs and preferences of reading novels. If you like a simple and easy to use browser, then you can choose from other web browser such as Chromefox, and Safari.com. If you prefer to customize your browser settings and features, then the Google Play Books reader for the Chrome-based browser, the Bookzz reader for the Firefox-based browser, and the iBooks reader for the Safari-based browser are all good choices. In addition, if you need to support online translation and multi-language functions, then the browser's extension programs such as Google Translate and Grain Powder Translator can also help you read novels better.

As someone who loves reading novels, the deadline for my knowledge is 2021, so I may not be able to provide the latest information. But according to what I know, 360 Browsers no longer provide reading mode after version 60. Reading mode is usually the reading bar or reading button in the browser, which allows the user to read the text content on the web page. Before version 60 of the 360 browser, it provided a reading mode, but after version 60, it no longer provided this function. If you are using the latest version of the 360 browser, you may not be able to use the reading mode. You can try to find the reading mode in the browser settings and see if it has been turned off or disabled. If you still can't use the reading mode, please try to find related information in other browser or contact 360 browser's customer support.

My answer might be a little unclear. In fact, reading novels had always been free or paid, depending on the policies of the novel's publishing company or platform. Some novels were free while others required payment. Free novels usually earned extra income through advertising or other means, while paid novels provided more complete content and no advertising.

It was very common for novels to be charged because novels usually existed as literary works and needed copyright protection. The author had to pay the copyright owner (usually a publishing company or online platform) to display his novel in front of the readers. In addition, the publication and distribution of novels usually required payment for printing, distribution, publicity, and other expenses, so the price of novels was relatively high. Online platforms might also need to pay authors a certain fee to ensure that the novels on their platforms could be read by more readers. Although some novels are free, there are usually free trial versions online. The readers can check the content and decide whether to continue reading. However, if one wanted to understand the plot and characters of the novel in depth or wanted to read the entire novel, then charging a fee was usually inevitable.

The reason why novels were charged was because novels, as a literary work, required the creator to create and conceive, as well as spend time and energy to describe and shape the characters and plot. In addition, the novel also required a certain amount of technical support and maintenance costs, such as production and updating content. Charging fees could also motivate authors to provide better quality works for readers, while also protecting the rights of readers to ensure that they could obtain the content of the novel fairly. In addition, charging for novels could also promote the healthy development of the novel industry and provide readers with a better reading experience and service.

Generally speaking, e-books and novels were free because the production cost of e-books was low and many e-book platforms provided free e-book reading services so that users could read their favorite novels anytime, anywhere. However, some e-book platforms may charge for the content of e-books. For example, some well-known e-book platforms such as Amazon's Amazon, Apple's Apple, and Google Play Books will provide free trial reading of some novels, but once purchased, you will have to pay to read the full version of the novel. Other novels may be copyright-protected and only copyright-owned e-book platforms can provide free reading services. Therefore, if you want to read some novels, it's best to confirm whether the copyright of the novel is authorized on your favorite e-book platform to avoid paying.

Perhaps it was because there were many novel websites that offered free novel reading services, but some paid novel websites would provide a better reading experience and more in-depth content. These websites usually added advertisements, side stories, and other content in the novel. Other novels might require the purchase of physical books to read, which was also a way to spend money. Of course, there were also some free novel websites that provided paid content, but the quality of the content might not be as good as the high-quality content provided by paid websites. Therefore, if you want to read some good novels, it is recommended to choose a paid website or buy physical books.

The reason why most of the browser on the iPhone didn't support reading novels on the mobile network was because Apple restricted the browser from visiting certain websites to protect user privacy and security. Apple stipulated that only the browser with the Apple WebKit-based core could access iCloud, and the browser with other cores could not. This resulted in the inability of many browser users on their devices to access novel websites, limiting the ability of users to read novels on their devices. In addition, Apple also restricted access to many websites on Apple devices to prevent users from being attacked by malicious software. Therefore, even if some browser supported reading novels on the mobile network, it could not be used on an iPhone device.

Most novel websites and platforms usually charge a fee for reading half of a novel because they believe that readers should pay to read the entire book to support their creation and publication. A novel was a fictional art form that contained a large amount of plot, characters, and background. These contents required the author to create and conceive. The author obtained the copyright and profits by publishing his works on a novel website or platform. When readers read a novel, they were actually experiencing the author's creation and had the right to decide whether to continue reading. If readers choose to stop reading, they should pay the author a corresponding fee to support their work. Therefore, charging for reading half of the novel was to protect the author's rights and encourage readers to continue reading the entire book and enjoy the pleasure of reading.
