Why make a Book App

Are you an author that wants to take there writing to the next level? Then you need to make a book app! It takes quite a bit of work! Writing, editing, publishing, promotion, oh goodness especially promotion. It's probably safe to say that there is more than one author out there who has a great book, but no publicity for it.

Interaction With Your Readers

When it comes to being an author, having feedback from your readers is a luxury. Imagine a book app that would allow your readers to ask you questions in a efficient manner. In an interactive book app, you will be able to answer these questions through a friendly medium where ever you want, whenever you want. No hassle, nobody pushing to get at you (and in some cases, just touch you). Your readers are also able to look into your upcoming works. This adds publicity to their future release and helps to hype your fan base. In all reality, there are countless possibilities from a book app. You could post your video announcements, you could post interviews you've had, you could even put the first few pages of your book on there as a preview, then offer it to your readers for purchase!

Children Book Apps

Make a Children's Book App

Parents are always looking for ways to either educate or entertain their children, and if they can do both at the same time. Tablets and eReaders are can be taken anywhere and can entertain and educate children for hours. Even though there is a lot of demand these children book apps are also the hardest to create due to the intense graphics needed and how easy the interface needs to be. Through my research I would recommend making a childrens eBook in enhanced eBook format or a fixed layout format. These designs are specfic for the conditions that you would need to make for a children's eBook. Children Book apps are can still be a very good option, but can be more costly than making an eBook.

Make a Book App = Make an Author App

Think about it. If you've got an eBook, your author app will only add to the publicity.

Your app is a new, fresh way to help yourself to the millions of potential readers out there. Who knows? There could be someone right now looking for a book just like the one you've written. Making an author app is another venue by which you can promote yourself, your work, and livelihood.
