It makes an eBook interactive, engaging, and eye-catching to the readers. With Kotobee Author, you can add any types of images, videos, 3D models, and even graded assessments. Even when using words, you can link them to any websites, chapters, or anchors in the book. To lessen the bandwidth usage, you do not need to open a browser since it automatically pops up for your convenience. Kotobee Author has another exquisite feature that is widget integration from sites such as BookWidgets that makes students attentive and interested. You can add custom autoplay audio that aids their flow of reading. > > **Cons**: Since Filipino students mostly use phones for online learning, the fact that I cannot separately edit its mobile app version is unbearable. I like to make custom header titles above my lessons (using a laptop) but once you view it on mobile, it becomes unorganized. Also, there are times in the customize tab, the gear keeps on loading without showing the web preview. Thus, not making the system fit for a huge image size so it needs primary optimization. > > Overall, Kotobee Author is an interactive ebook appropriate for my blended class specifically for reference use as well. It only needs to be downloaded so that means offline access is possible with fewer exceptions if you have URL links embedded. ----- ### "The best to create interactive books" — 4.0/5 > **Meiby** | *27 March 2018* | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: One of the best features is the ability to include test type questions and javascript elements to allow interactive books to be raised to another level. It also has a large number of export formats from pdf to scorm. > > **Cons**: The only thing that I do not like, is that in its free version they removed the option to export with scorm to be able to try the virtual bao platform for learning books. But everything else is very complete to have the same application. > > The best thing is that we can create interactive books without having to know about programming languages, thanks to its great intuitive interface. Its constant update is also one of its main features. ----- ### "Simple and lightweight authoring tool" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *4 September 2020* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: a simple and lightweight authoring tool, besides that it's also easy to use because it's just like compiling, so it's just a matter of compiling a concept so that the scorm can be used for independent learning > > **Cons**: maybe the price is reduced and there is an education package > > good and like it, Let's increase the challenge to be able to promote Kotobee ----- ### "Great app" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *3 September 2020* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's easy to use with a variety of options to choose from in order to have a creative and interactive ebook. > > **Cons**: Since I'm using a free account, I can't download my work as an ePub file. Most of my works were requires more pages. However, my works can still be read in the Kotobee app for reading and browsing purposes. > > It was awesome. I also enjoyed the webinar about its use. ----- ### "Very useful EPUB editor and authoring tool, for small and medium tasks" — 4.0/5 > **Edo** | *26 July 2017* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Design is very practical, plain but no too much. Options are visible during work. Different layout modes adapt Your work to the best experience for reader. many options to make an excellent e-book with interactive content. > > **Cons**: More available languages and skins would be nice. Customization options for user interface are nearly none. Learning curve can be, in beginning, slightly problematic. > > Fantastic tool for interactive catalogues and offers. Eye catching books for different devices are sometime a wining card. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/301951/kotobee-author?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/301951/kotobee-author) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
