KOBA-I // AUTHOR INFRASTRUCTURE
Turn Your Book Into an Experience You Own.
Premium media. Direct reader experiences. Built around your book.
KOBA-I helps independent authors turn their books into premium media and direct reader experiences they can sell and deliver from their own websites—while keeping control of their brand, pricing, audience relationships, and revenue.
02 // WORKING PROOF
SEE IT WORK.
Listen. Watch. Open a book. This is the real reader experience powered by KOBA-I.
Imagine this experience on your own domain—with your brand, your pricing, and a direct relationship with your readers.
03 // RANGE PROOF
BUILT AROUND YOUR BOOK.
Most platforms require your book to fit their experience. KOBA-I builds the experience around your book, your brand, and your goals.
FULL PRODUCTION & DIRECT STOREFRONT
Mary Aaron
The Problem
Professional audiobook production felt financially out of reach, while traditional distribution offered little control over the eventual reader relationship.
What KOBA-I Built
Manuscript-to-master audiobook production, voice direction, audio engineering, a branded storefront, and direct reader delivery.
The Reader Experience
A branded web player where readers can purchase access directly and listen through the browser.
DIRECT PUBLISHING & CUSTOM INTEGRATION
Sharon Meeks
The Problem
Needed a professional way to deliver existing audio directly from her own site while maintaining a first-party relationship with her readers.
What KOBA-I Built
Branded player deployment, protected media delivery, and direct commerce integration.
The Reader Experience
Direct purchase on Sharon’s site followed by authenticated access to her audio through the KOBA-I reader experience.
04 // COMMERCIAL PATHS
TWO WAYS TO BUILD YOUR READER EXPERIENCE.
Start with a manuscript or bring finished media. KOBA-I provides the production and infrastructure needed to deliver your work directly to readers.
PATH 01
FULL AUDIOBOOK & MEDIA PRODUCTION
“I have a manuscript and need my audiobook created.”
KOBA-I turns your manuscript into a finished, professionally produced audiobook. We handle voice casting, performance direction, audio engineering, sound design, mastering, and packaging for direct reader delivery. When the project calls for it, production can extend into video and other immersive media.
- Voice casting and performance direction
- Edited and mastered audiobook production
- Sound design where appropriate
- Branded reader/storefront experience
- Direct commerce and reader account access
PATH 02
DIRECT PUBLISHING & DELIVERY
“I already have finished media.”
Bring your finished audiobook or video files. KOBA-I provides the branded reader experience, protected media delivery, direct commerce, and account infrastructure needed to deliver that media from your own site.
- Protected media streaming
- Branded web player on your domain
- Direct checkout through your merchant account
- Reader accounts and entitlement-based access
- First-party reader relationship data
05 // OWNERSHIP
BUILD THE EXPERIENCE. KEEP THE RELATIONSHIP.
Your book can travel wherever you choose to distribute it. But your own platform gives readers somewhere to come back to—a place where your brand, your media, your pricing, and your reader relationships remain connected to you.
YOUR STOREFRONT
Sell and present your work from an experience built around your brand—not a generic marketplace listing.
YOUR PRICING
Set your own prices and sell through your own merchant relationship without surrendering a percentage of every direct sale to a media marketplace.
YOUR READERS
Build a first-party relationship with the people who purchase your work instead of losing that relationship behind a marketplace account.
YOUR MEDIA
Keep control of how your audiobook, e-book, video, and future media are presented and delivered as your work evolves.
Use the channels that make sense. Just make sure one of them belongs to you.
