Instead of Kotobee Author

Kotobee Author alternatives

Kotobee Author is suited to projects where the ebook itself needs interaction. Authors can import PDF, HTML, Word, or EPUB files, add video, audio, image animations, questions, and widgets, then export to more than 12 formats, including mobile apps. AI tools can generate text, images, questions, and voice narration. For education and training, it also supports auto-graded questions, learner score tracking, and SCORM, LTI, and Tin Can integrations. Branding and custom HTML, CSS, and JavaScript let authors shape ebook apps and behavior.

A different tool may fit better when the priority is print layout, manuscript formatting, or a more focused book-production workflow. Kotobee has a free plan and paid access from $150, while some formats that rely on Kotobee servers require an active subscription. It runs on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows. Before switching, weigh which manuscript formats you need to import, whether you need interactive or assessment features, and whether your end product is an ebook, a print-ready file, or both.
