Sending and reading messages
Writing on a registered owner’s page changes the matching page in their copy. Erasing text removes it there too. Recipients have to open the book and read; it does not work like a chat notification. A message addressed to oneself is shared with all registered owners. Other private exchanges stay private.[1]
