How we rank
Boovie ReadFit is Boovie's own assessment of how well a place suits reading, across seven needs: quiet, room to stay, posted hours, Wi-Fi, coffee and food (not expected of libraries or bookstores), comfort and access, and books at hand. Listed facts count in full; Boovie's judgement from the type of place is shown dotted and never raises the score. Missing information is never treated as a weakness: a number appears only when at least four of those needs are documented, a word when three are, and otherwise the place is marked as not yet having enough listed facts. Confidence says how much is documented. It is not a reader rating, and no place pays to be listed or ranked. Places are ordered by ReadFit; Top picks show at most two of one kind of place when well-documented alternatives exist.
