Storybase vs Prose Reader

Storybase helps authors build relationships with their readers, and helps readers engage deeper with books through an immersive and interactive experience. FOR READERS A new way to experience audiobooks and ebooks: immersive, interactive, and connected to the author every step of the way. • Immersive: switch between audiobook and ebook, read and listen in sync, and play soundtracks for exercising, learning, or relaxing. • Interactive: ask the book questions with built-in AI, and share chapters with the people who need them. • Connected: stay close to the author and their world, from the first page to the last. FOR AUTHORS What if your book was the beginning, not the end? • Reach: get your book into more hands with instant share links and customizable offers. • Engage: see who reads, listens, and finishes, and drop AI prompts and calls to action right into the experience. • Activate: turn attention into relationships. Capture contacts and guide readers to your real next step. • Multiply: turn your team, clients, and readers into ambassadors who pass the book forward. A book should do more than sit on a shelf. It is the door into everything you do next. Use of this app is bound by the Apple Standard EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
