How did KITABOO enable

High-Tech eReader performance?

eBooks with multimedia content such as images, audio, video, animations, and interactive elements generally slows down the eReader’s performance. But KITABOO’s eReader effectively tackled the performance by using AWS hosting with CDN configurations. This means that the books are stored and delivered by a cloud service called AWS, which uses a network of servers to speed up the loading time of the books. The books are sent from the nearest server to the user, reducing the load time by 50%. KITABOO’s eReader thus provided a high-tech eReader experience for the users.

How did the Higher Ed publisher

customize the user subscription model for the KITABOO eReader?

They wanted to boost customer satisfaction and retention with a user-friendly eReader that adapts to each user’s needs. They also wanted to enable subscriptions with exclusive features to generate recurring revenue and encourage free or trial users to upgrade. KITABOO played a significant role by adding a feature that checks the type of user who is accessing the eReader. If the user is not a paid subscriber to the publisher’s platform, they cannot use all the features of the eReader, such as the UGC data, which is the user-generated content that they can create or upload. Instead, they are prompted to register themselves on the publisher’s platform and pay for a subscription to use the premium features of the eReader.

The result was a win-win situation for both the premier publisher and their customers. They saw an increase in their customer satisfaction and retention rates, as well as their subscription revenue. Their customers enjoyed a personalized and enhanced reading experience that met their needs and expectations. Thus, KITABOO successfully delivered a user-friendly eReader for one of the premier US-based higher education publishers.
