Wwwwaaaaiiitttt.....
before you go on, as soon as I read "allow users to discover books", I need to ask you these questions...
* I go to Amazon to "discover" or find details on books - those that I don't know AND those that I know
* Then I go to bookdepository
* But there are a number of sites that does this "social, book discovery - share what you know etc" - goodreads, shelfari, i dream books, etc.
So my questions is....
* why is yours any different to the above?
* is there a KILLER feature you have which none of the above has?
* is the killer feature in demand?
* Ben Horowitz suggests entrepreneurs to make a product which is at least 10x better than the current incumbents. Is yours going to be 10x better than ones that are out there and have been out there for a long time?
- ziikutv 14y agoI already mentioned that Goodreads has more than 12,000 posts about people wondering what book they know of. However, these are 12,000 UNANSWERED books. Social book discovery is not INSTANT. My killer idea is that they search objects, colors, perhaps plot and provide other input and get book covers as results, they can pick the one that was indeed the book they are looking for and click buy (Amazon or other Affiliate redirect)..
