Gather Leads

Companies and bloggers alike are gathering leads with small ebooks, whether guides or teaser chapters.

Better than emailing boring PDF files, connect with your readers and give them instant access to a lively media-rich ebook they want to read.

Kotobee's Hosted Ebooks and Web Apps, when coupled with Kotobee Cloud services, allow your users to access your ebook in seconds. They simply enter their email address and confirm it from the activation email.

Your interactive online ebook is instantly ready for them to read, and you have one more lead.

Your readers can bookmark the ebook. Unlike old files in their email, they know they're reading the most updated version.

In this support page, you'll learn how to enable self-registration and customize the registration form for your cloud ebook.

Self-registration allows users to create their own accounts to access your cloud ebook. You can also configure approval settings, customize the registration form, and limit field choices using dropdown menus for consistent data entry.

Enable Self-Registration

Click on the Manage tab.
The Manage screen will open.
Click on Cloud Ebooks in the left panel, then select Settings from the Cloud Ebooks menu.
Select your cloud ebook from the drop-down menu in the top bar.
In the Permissions tab, under Book permissions, click Private.
Go to the Registration tab, then check Self-registration.
Optional: Check Request Admin approval first if you want to approve users, before granting them access to your library.
Click Save changes.
A confirmation window will appear. "The changes have been saved successfully."

Your users will be prompted for their email address before being granted access to the ebook.

Customize Registration Fields

You can customize the registration form to collect additional details from users. In the Registration form section, select or unselect fields such as Name, Organization, or Country, and set whether each field is required or optional.

For some fields, you can also select Limit choices. This lets you create a predefined list of options that will appear in a dropdown menu, ensuring users provide consistent answers (e.g., choosing from a list of departments or grade levels).
