Ebook platform development
An ebook platform extends beyond a storefront. Cocode plans content ingestion, reading entitlements, viewers, DRM requirements and reading state across devices.
Start with the viewer and content formats
PDF and EPUB differ in page layout and text resizing. Use real supplied files to verify navigation, search, zoom, bookmarks, notes and accessibility before committing to supported formats and features.
DRM combines entitlements, encryption and offline policy
DRM combines technology and operating policy to manage content usage rights. Define purchase, rental and subscription access periods, device registration, downloads, offline expiry and revocation.
Implementation depends on the DRM vendor’s contract and supported platforms and the content supplier’s requirements. Complete prevention of capture or copying across every environment is not promised.
Connect reading state across devices
Decide whether reading position, bookmarks and notes belong to the account or stay on one device. Define conflict handling for offline edits and simultaneous changes across devices.
Include the publishing operation
List catalog and file ingestion, sales and rental entitlements, search, content replacement, incident response and settlement records. Define and verify roles that can access personal, payment and reading data.
Frequently asked questions
Can you build only the viewer?
We can scope viewer development and integration after reviewing the existing server and content delivery.
Are DRM fees part of development pricing?
DRM contracts and usage fees are reviewed separately from implementation. Inclusion is not assumed before the vendor and pricing are agreed.
Can readers continue across devices?
Account-based reading-position sync can be designed, with explicit offline handling and location mapping between devices.
What is needed for an estimate?
Prepare sample books, supplier terms, target devices, sales or subscription models and existing DRM and payment contracts.
