Rationale
Bookmate is an e-book and audiobook subscription service. While it offers a vast library and reading features, it primarily focuses on consuming existing content rather than enabling users to publish their own long-form articles. It has a subscription model, user profiles, social sharing, and search capabilities, but lacks a rich text editor for content creation and a strong distribution/recommendation engine for user-generated content, which are core to the 'Medium' concept.
