Sumbola for the Android is the perfect complement to the Sumbola cloud-enabled platform. And it’s all synced with the same easy-to-use interface.

Sumbola is a cloud-based transmedia platform for writers, readers and talent that helps content creators to create, share, and sell their digital creations as either subscriptions or one-off purchases, and also generate new forms of revenue that they have never been able to access before.

Now, authoring, reading, and related talent can coexist on one platform and form Communities of Shared Interest... What we call CoSI™.

If you’re an author, with Sumbola's platform, your book becomes the sum of its readers, and the reading experience, right down to a single word, is now part of your knowledge. Be ready to be empowered. Know who’s reading your book, where, when, and how much.

Book lovers, you're now part of a global platform where you can connect with other readers, see them on a map, and even find out which ones are close by. You can opt-in to share your page notes and chapter comments, highlights, your favorite passages...add contextual dictionary terms... even your artistic inspirations.

And if you're a person with a particular talent that authors could use, like editing, illustrating, translating, etc. Sumbola has a home for you, too. Talent can help authors take their written works to a whole new level or a new market. Talent is a big part of the Sumbola platform.
