EthBooks Decentralized E-Book Platform
1. Introduction
In the last few months, the world of cryptocurrecies has become very
exciting. Interest in cryptocurrencies has reached an all-time high as
people around the globe become aware of the crypto world. Major
exchanges have reported exponential growth as thousands of people
flock to their platforms.
When it comes to the future of money, there is a growing consensus that
cryptocurrencies are set to play a major role.
Demand for quality information on cryptocurrencies has soared over the
past few months. The thirst for this kind of information can be attributed
to the fact that the public has never been able to put their money directly
into a technology that has so much potential but is still developing.
For example, a technology enthusiast in the 1990s may have foreseen
the rise of the internet, but had no way to directly take a stake in the
technology. The idea of applying cryptography to the storage and
transmission of data is still very new. And the fact that anyone can directly buy the currency that powers these cryptographically
secured blockchains is much like the public actually getting a chance to
invest in the internet during its infancy. According to Google Trends, the third week of May saw a record
number of Google searches for Bitcoin.
This kind of trend shows that virtual currencies are generating more
interest than before. In fact, this has reached an all-time peak which is
surely an upbeat development taking into account the previous high was
during the Mt. Gox drama in 2013. In other words, more and more
people are getting to know about crytocurrencies.
One thing that is clear from our deep market analysis is that many new
entrants into the crypto world lack any kind of knowledge on how or
where to start.
As the tech literacy of the population increases, acceptance of crypto as
a legitimate store of value follows. Titles along the lines of: ‘Bitcoin
Market Capitalization Soars’ and ‘Secrets of Crypto Millionaires’ are
starting to perforate the general public’s news feed.
What we know for sure is that people who were once skeptical of
Bitcoin and the technology behind it are slowly understanding and
getting increasingly involved with crypto.
e-Book Statistics
According to Statista data on ebooks, a whooping 1.35billion
ebooks were sold between 2010 to 2016 in the US alone, with
221million copies sold in 2016.
The statistic presents the number of e-books sold in the Unites States from 2010 to 2016. The sales
peaked in 2013, at 242 million units sold.
Our Target
We are targeting a sizeable market share in every country. With the
growing interest in cryptocurrency, the sale of ebooks on EthBooks
is bound to explode as more people search for quality information
under one roof.
Platform Features
The store will be web based as well as app based. The app will soon
be freely available on Play Store, Apple Store and Windows Store.
There are also plans of introducing our very own portable
EthReader that will deliver the best reading experience. More
details can be found in the sections below.
EBK Crowdsale
The EBK crowdsale is scheduled to start on 18
st September and end on
20th October or when the hard cap of 42,500 ETH is reached.
Whichever comes first.
Token Allocation
EBK tokens will be issued during our crowdsale. Once it’s over, no
more tokens will ever be created.
A maximum of 100,000,000 EBK tokens will ever be generated.
A total of 85,000,000 EBK tokens will be sold during the crowdsale.
10,000,000 of those will be kept as reserve. They will be locked up for 2
years.
5,000,000 EBK will be set aside for the bounty program, advisors and
supporters.
Any remaining/unsold tokens will be burned after the ICO is over.
Example: If 60,000,000 EBK are sold during the ICO, then the
remaining 25,000,000 EBK will be burned.
