About Kotobee Author
Kotobee Author is a desktop program for creating interactive ebooks. One project can be exported to several formats, including EPUB, HTML5, desktop and mobile apps for Android, iPad and iPhone, and SCORM and LTI packages for learning platforms. It runs on Windows, macOS and Debian-based Linux.
The wider Kotobee platform adds branded library apps, a separate reader, cloud hosting and control over which users can open a book. It suits publishers, teachers and training teams more than casual writers. The site offers a free license and a 30-day trial, with paid plans on top.
