Imagine: Book Worm

Filed under: Cup of coffee — dvd @ 11:20 pm

Imagine: a web app that sits on a collection of ebooks, shows the user a paragraph from a book, and asks the user whether they want

  1. get (buy) the whole book to read;
  2. read another paragraph from this book;
  3. read a paragraph from a similar book;
  4. read a paragraph from a different book.

The app can remember user’s past history to adjust suggestions. How paragraphs, similar, and different books are chosen is an interesting question.

For testing/development, free text repositories are available, for example, Project Gutenberg, but also many others.
