Kotobee Author is the best and most complete technological tool I have ever used in my life. It is a versatile and technologically advanced tool that is constantly improving its technical capabilities. An all-in-one tool for creating very smart and impressive books for end consumers, and easy and powerful to use for creators. I love they have YouTube tutorials and updated documentation. > > **Cons**: Not yet. It would be nice to have possibility to add more devices. Sometimes I am not working with my desktop, and I want to use my laptop or cellphone. But I did not search seriously, maybe they already have that possibility. > > 1\. I had some issues at the beginning with my account and payment (because my error), but they resolved them successfully. 2. They had stopped supporting the Ubuntu version (my desktop uses Linux). But they recently resumed support. Not all companies offer a Linux version. I think it's a very good sign when a company offers Linux (Ubuntu) versions, as they are more inclusive, technologically advanced, and committed to their customers (even though Linux isn't mainstream). 3. They offers customer service in several languages. I am especially happy and grateful to \[sensitive content hidden\], who, along with the Kotobee team, took charge of resolving the issues. He is friendly, very professional, and genuinely interested in helping his clients. I am not going anywhere, Kotobee Author is my reliable work tool. Thank you so much Kotobee team. ----- ### "Buyer Beware" — 1.0/5 > **Anthony** | *12 December 2024* | Broadcast Media | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: At first, the ease of creating our interactive eBooks. > > **Cons**: The lack of transparency of their products and severe lack of communication > > Good at first, then quickly went down hill ----- ### "Could not be more pleased\!" — 5.0/5 > **Daniel** | *27 October 2024* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The learning curve is pretty easy. It's got a lot of options, so figuring them out may be a challenge. But the support team is simply amazing. Every time I could not figure something out, they were there to help. I can't praise the support team enough. > > **Cons**: Creating a hosted library is a bit expensive. > > It has enabled me to create dynamic and great looking eBooks. Not only that, I am able to monetize them for classes I teach. I've been selling ebooks for about 6 weeks. By the end of next week, I will have sold almost 5k worth of books. ----- ### "An honest review on Kotobee as a tool for academic e-book authoring" — 5.0/5 > **Themis** | *18 November 2025* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have searched extensively to find the right tool for authoring an academic e-book.
