The Bookline Reader Application is the e-book reader application of Libri Könyvkereskedelmi Kft. It allows users to purchase e-books found on the Bookline online shop and read them within the application on phones or tablets. The goal of the project is to extend possibilities for existing clients of Libri-Bookline in the digital space.
The challenge
It is critical for the largest national book distributor to be omnipresent on platforms, however aside from selling books they must provide a service that makes them stand out from the competition. It is important that the companys’ customers don’t leave the webshop application, but to engage with interesting services such as: virtual bookshelf, collections, challenges, notes, bookmarks. Not only are these functions important to keep customers, but to be able to read the purchased products within the application.
Solution
Using a state-of-the-art cross-platform technology, Molaris was able to ensure a uniform appearance on iOS and Android platforms. Our application also made it possible to import purchased books from various sources – including popular cloud-based storage such as OneDrive or Google Drive. Practically the entire functionality of popular book reading applications can be found in the app – such as user statistics on book reading.
