These are pretty cool. I wish there was a way to bookmark and share a link directly to the instanovel. It took me a little bit, but I figured it out. Launch Instagram and head over to @nypl’s Instagram account. Right before the list of pictures that have been posted are the novels.

Tap on a story and start reading or watching the animations (with sound!). To pause a page so you can read it you can place your thumb on the screen in the bottom right of the page.

Pretty cool!
