It offers a seamless integration between the traditional feel of physical books and the convenience of digital reading. The study will focus on the challenges faced during the development process and the key features that make a unique and user-friendly app.

This is a groundbreaking app that allows users to purchase physical books while simultaneously gaining access to their digital counterparts. The primary goal of Interactive E-Book application is to enhance the reading experience by enabling users to access their books anytime, anywhere, through their devices. Additionally, it offers a digital book reader with various features to enhance the reading experience.

Key Features:

Bookstore: Provides a virtual bookstore where users can browse and purchase physical books. This feature allows users to maintain their love for physical books while also gaining access to the digital version.

Digital Book Reader: Digital book reader offers a range of features to enhance the reading experience. Users can switch between day and night reading modes to optimize their reading environment. Additionally, the reader supports highlighting, allowing users to mark important sections or take notes within the digital book.

Multi-Device Synchronization: Enables users to read their books across multiple devices. Through seamless synchronization, users can switch between devices and continue reading from where they left off. This feature ensures a consistent reading experience, regardless of the device being used.

Redemption of Digital Versions: Offers an exclusive benefit to users who have purchased physical books from traditional bookshops. Users can redeem free digital versions of eligible physical books they own.

The Challenge

During the development of Interactive E-Book application, several challenges were encountered. One of the significant challenges was customizing the folio reader kit to create a new library specifically designed for users. This customization was essential to provide a unique and tailored reading experience within the app. Another challenge involved implementing device authentication to ensure a fair usage policy. The application allows users to authorize up to five devices per account. Once the device limit is reached, users must deauthorize an existing device before logging in on a new one. This process ensures that the app can be used securely and prevents unauthorized access to users' accounts.
