GeBook

GeBook primarily targets the Congolese digital publishing market, where publishing, selling and reading books online is still poorly structured.

Authors have few ways to distribute and monetise digital books, and readers have no single place to find them.

• Let an author publish and sell a digital book without a technical intermediary.
• Give readers a simple path: discover, buy, read.
• Protect the digital content being distributed.

• Independent authors and publishers.
• Readers, in Congo and in the diaspora.
• Platform administrators.

A web platform with three spaces (reader, author, administration), built on an API and a role model that clearly separates what each user can do.

• Book catalogue and author discovery.
• Dedicated author spaces.
• Purchase flow and order management.
• Roles and administration spaces.
• Access to digital books and content protection.

Rôles explicites

Separating reader, author and administrator in the data model avoids bolting permissions on later.

Stabilising, pre-launch

• Finish stabilisation and prepare the launch.
• Validate the payment integration before announcing it: it is not presented as operational.
