Redefine how people interact with books - let’s add images, videos, annotations and music to deliver a more engaging, informative experience.

Become the biggest publisher: How do we publish thousands of books every month? How do we reduce the traditional publication time from 18 months to less than 1 week? We want to achieve this in a short time AND keep the content quality high.
