Answers
Good questions. Clear answers.
Start here, and bring your specific requirements to the walkthrough.
Is KITABOO an alternative to Kotobee?
Yes, when you are evaluating branded digital publishing and secure delivery. Kotobee includes Author, Cloud and Library products; KITABOO combines its reader with Studio and adds conversion and integration options. Compare the full configuration you need.
Does Kotobee also offer DRM and branded libraries?
Yes. Kotobee documents device limits, user permissions, scheduled access removal and fully branded libraries. The useful comparison is how each platform implements your requirements, not whether the capabilities exist.
Can we talk to a customer who moved from Kotobee?
Ask for a 1:1 customer conversation. We'll look for a suitable introduction for your publishing needs, subject to the customer's availability and consent.
Can you help us avoid paying for two platforms?
Share your current contract and renewal timeline. We'll review migration or setup concessions, billing timing and a phased transition. Any arrangement depends on your contract and scope and is confirmed in the proposal; it is not an automatic waiver or buyout.
Can KITABOO migrate our Kotobee library?
We review the migration scope with you. Bring an inventory of titles and formats, source files, user records and licence rules. Notes, history and proprietary widgets do not transfer automatically and are assessed before rollout is agreed.
Do readers have to install an app?
No. Readers open KITABOO titles in a browser. Offline reading uses supported apps, with encrypted downloads subject to licence validity and revalidation.
How should we compare costs?
Request proposals for the same title count, active audience, branding, apps, storage, integrations and support, and separate setup and conversion from recurring fees. A single headline price is not a like-for-like comparison.
What happens in the demo?
We walk through the KITABOO reader and Studio against your priorities, then discuss content preparation, integrations and rollout. If you use Kotobee today, bring the workflows you want to keep or improve.
