About the product

Experience prose fiction on mobile from top authors via short episodes with in-depth companion material and integrated community features. We’ll resist the urge to make the big pitch and just share that we’re taking everything we’ve learned from games and applying it to prose fiction. We’ve designed a new user experience from the ground up around a simple way to experience mobile storytelling. After prototyping for the better part of this year, we have a unique format that combines short sessions, in depth companion material, and integrated community. Bound has already starting signing authors and content partners. Exciting stuff. **Who’s it for?** So if you love great world-building-though-story (you know books, RPG sourcebooks, maps, comics, etc.) then I think you might like Bound. We are assembling an all-star team including some of the best world-builders around. We will be announcing additions to the Bound team in the coming weeks. We are also hiring so watch our job board and Angel List for details if you think you might want to join our expanding adventure party. If any of this sounds interesting, I hope you’ll keep tabs on our progress or request access to the beta.

DEBOOK

ebooks

First of all, we solve a massive problem for authors. They barely make money. The maximum they will get is about 50%. With DEBOOK, authors earn 90% of the primary sales of their books. They also get to know their audience since the Blockchain is public, and they will have their own private community with their readers. Before DEBOOK, authors had no idea who their readers were since the database is owned by the book publishers. There is no need for them to do unlimited books since they will also get a % of the secondary sales. Limited books are more powerful because the communities are more curated, and authors will make more money selling fewer books. For readers, digital books don't add any extra value, so people still prefer physical books. Now your book is just the beginning; since it is a digital collectible (NFT), you can access a gated community of each book you buy. You get to meet like-minded people, interact with the book and share your thoughts, meet the author, add your feedback, sell it whenever you like, and even rent it.
