I am working on an application by which reader can read books as messages on their favourite messaging application such as Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp. Now a time people are spending a lot of their time on mobile phone and of which they spend 80 percent of their time on social media or messaging platform. They wanna read books but not able to get time for reading. So, we are creating a platform where users can select a book from our collection or upload a book and we will split the book into small twitter sized messages and then user can schedule the messages according to their availability ( no. of messages user wants to receive, In how many days they wanna complete the book ) and based on their schedule and our algorithm we will send them the text snippets. For Authors :- 1. It is very difficult for authors to do marketing for their book and as every year around 1 Lakh books publishes all over the world and of fiction books consist of a big section of this number. So, we are creating a platform where book authors by taking a little bit theme plot of their upcoming book and creates a small and interactive Facebook messenger based story which they can easily used for marketing and It will increase the sale of their upcoming book.

2. Now a days, people are more interested in interactive books where they can be also a part of the book and there are sounds, images but for authors creating a book on top of messaging application is not possible due to technical issues. So, To tackle this problem we are creating a Saas application where book authors can easily create an interactive book which going much into the technology.

More details about the application can be found here :
