Coliloquy's digital books, which are available on Kindle, Nook and Android e-readers, have a 'choose-your-own-adventure'-style format, allowing readers to customize characters and plot lines. The company's engineers aggregate and pool the data gleaned from readers' selections and send it to the authors, who can adjust story lines in their next books to reflect popular choices.
Coliloquy借助亚马逊的Kindle数据开发者项目开发了其软件,亚马逊的这个项目允许外部企业为Kindle创建互动内容。Coliloquy的专有数据平台采用了类似于游戏软件的复杂算法,可让读者从不同的叙事路径中进行选择。
'Data and analytics, we've seen how it revolutionized certain industries like mobile apps and gaming,' says Mr. Lue. 'With reading, we don't yet have that engagement data, and we wanted to provide a feedback mechanism that didn't exist before between authors and readers.'
Coliloquy聘请了六名编辑和五名技术和产品开发人员,并招募爱情、非小说类书籍、青少年奇幻小说和情色小说等一系列类型作品的作家。自今年1月份启动以来,该公司已发行了八本书,并正在新增犯罪小说、法理惊悚小说以及实验性小说。卢和卢瑟福以与亚马逊签署了保密协议为由,拒绝提供Coliloquy所发行的书籍的销售额。他们说,购买Coliloquy所发行的书籍(售价从2.99至7.99美元不等)的读者有90%以上把书读完了,还有67%的读者会重读一遍。
