MOCHI Inc. (Headquarters: Sumida-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Ryota Toeda), provider of the corporate e-book subscription service "Sharelot" (https://sharelot.jp/), has launched its "Freemium Plan," allowing users to try out the system's usability with zero initial and monthly fees.
Furthermore, as the first installment of free trial books for this plan, we are pleased to announce the release and free publication within the service of "Bōkyaku no Sanbō" from our in-house publishing label "Sharelot Publishing."
Background: The "Sticking Wall" in Introducing Training and Learning Tools and the Worries of Those in Charge
While more companies are considering and introducing e-learning and various training tools to improve employee skills and foster self-directed talent, many HR and education managers are struggling with the "hollowing out" of operations, such as "despite our good intentions in introducing it, participation rates aren't increasing" or "it's not being used much in the field due to daily work pressures."
There are primarily three walls (mismatches) that prevent newly introduced learning systems from fully penetrating the company:
● Psychological hurdle of securing sufficient "time"
It is difficult to find 30 minutes to an hour of uninterrupted time for tasks like watching videos amidst practical work, and it tends to be postponed.
● Discrepancy with the "needs to know right now" of the field
The uniform curriculum does not match the speed of the challenges employees face in their daily work. (e.g., concerns about generative AI)
● Difficulty in continuation due to solitary learning
Learning pursued alone makes it difficult to maintain motivation, and it is hard to foster knowledge sharing and dialogue within the company.
We have consistently received feedback from many companies saying, "We want to check in advance what kind of books are available" and "We want to try out the internal utilization and user experience before introduction." Therefore, Sharelot has prepared the "Freemium Plan" with zero introduction risk, allowing you to thoroughly verify if it matches your company before proceeding with a contract.
Overview of the "Freemium Plan" and Three Experiences
This plan allows you to try the following features indefinitely and for free:
Zero initial and monthly fees (no usage period limit)
Invite up to 20 members
Through test operation, we offer the following three experiences:
Confirmation of system operability and UI
You can test the ease of page turning and the "read-aloud function" for learning during spare moments on actual apps or browsers.
Experience of sharing with company members
Through the free trial books, you can try out a "discussion experience" utilizing the comment function.
Search of over 13,000 titles
You can check in advance the extensive lineup of the latest business and practical books available after full introduction, using the actual store search function. This avoids the situation of "not finding books you want to read."
Free Publication of Our Own Published Book "Bōkyaku no Sanbō" as a Trial Book
In conjunction with the launch of the Freemium Plan, we have released and published "Bōkyaku no Sanbō" (authored by Ryota Toeda) from our in-house publishing label as the first designated book that all participating members can read in the free environment.
Through this book, you can thoroughly experience Sharelot's unique new reading experience of "eliminating the pressure of an entire book" and a culture of mutual learning with the actual system.
* For companies wishing for more practical test operations, an "Additional Book Purchase Option" is also available. You can purchase additional business books and specialized books directly related to your company's work from our lineup of 13,000 titles for testing.
Details of the Freemium Plan and Individual Briefing Sessions
To prevent failures in trial operations, Sharelot conducts "Individual Briefing Sessions (online)" before issuing free accounts, where we lecture on utilization methods tailored to your company's challenges and provide examples from other companies. Please feel free to consult with us even if you have not yet decided on a specific introduction.

Why Sharelot is Necessary Now
The business environment is changing dramatically due to the evolution of generative AI and the spread of online learning. While information is instantly available, the importance of human capabilities such as dialogue between employees, deep discussion, and "interpretation skills" and "empathy" is increasing.
Sharelot is an e-book platform that transcends the limitations of paper and maximizes the utilization of intellectual assets held by companies. Through dialogue and learning initiated by a shared reading experience, it contributes to organizational innovation and enhanced competitiveness.
