Every book listed on Pasaj has a unique book display ID. This display ID is used to generate a public book URL that can be shared externally. You can post this link on social media, or send it to friends and family through third-party messaging apps.
When someone taps the shared link, they will be redirected to the Pasaj app to preview the book, provided the listing still exists and has not been deleted or swapped.
