Kotobee Publisher

Kotobee Publisher is an advanced yet very user-friendly piece of software functioning as an authoring tool that allows you to create multi-platform ebooks, with countless interactive elements.

The utility’s main window is fairly attractive and easy to understand, requiring a minimal level of prior experience or knowledge with such utilities in order to handle it properly.

Kotobee Publisher features a wizard-style interface with eight different steps; you need to go through each stage in sequence, using the ‘Next’ and ‘Previous’ buttons, in order to generate your file, as it does not support jumping between sections.

In the ‘Mode Selection’ tab, you will be able to choose how to get started, with two available options, specifically ‘Design From Scratch’ and ‘Start From A PDF’, the former enabling you to pick the dimensions of the ebook, while the latter lets you import a PDF from your computer or the web.

Next, you can input the ‘Book Information’, referring to ‘Title’, ‘Author Name’, ‘Keywords’, ‘Language’ and even an ‘App Icon’. The subsequent step lets you add the chapters to your book, along with the name and corresponding page.

The ‘Components’ section allows you to decide if the users of your ebook will be able to add ‘Bookmarks’, display ‘Thumbnails’, permit ‘PDF Download’ or ‘Social Sharing’, ‘Notes’, ‘Highlights’ or ‘Search’ features; this is done by selecting ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ from each menu.

‘Colors and Design’ enables you to choose a ‘Template’, load an image as a ‘Background’, customize the ‘Thumbnails’ and ‘Panels’, or configure the ‘Branding Options’, by applying your own logos and links, rather than the default ones.

The ‘Web Options’ stage lets you choose a ‘Layout’ , a ‘Page Transition’ effect and adjust the ‘Interface Options’, even adding a ‘Background Audio’ file. When done, you can press the ‘Save Book File’ or the ‘Export' button corresponding to each platform (Android, iOS, Web, Windows or Mac).

To sum it up, Kotobee Publisher is a professional program that offers you the proper means of creating interactive ebooks for different operating systems, with a limited amount of effort on your part, thus saving you time and effort in the process.
