Extra: Do you believe certain book categories translate better to apps? If so, what are they and why?
Kripalani: Yes, I do. Any book that's heavily illustration-based or craving interactivity should be adapted as an app rather than an ePub format file. This is why children's books do so well as apps. They're full of illustrations and interactivity that keep children engaged to learn. ePub is a solid way to adapt chapter books or anything that's extremely text-based. However, ePub doesn't properly support children's books given all of the unique programming and features that go into each title.
