| Question | Outcome |
|---|---|
| How will we support streaming contnetcontent while the resources are downloading? Currently this supported by Findaway) but not supported necessarily supported by other Audiobook service providers such as Overdrive or RB Digital. | Defer this feature until version 3.X (Audiobook version 2) when Overdrive and RB Digital services are integrated. |
| How should audiobooks be represented in the discovery layer of the application? As a separate catalog, distinct navigation path or intermingled with EPUBS? | Provide an activity based interaction design, the "experience" (e.g. reading or listening) is chosen. While this will essential result in presenting the user with option to find or search for Audiobooks (listening) or Ebooks (reading) the information design does not preclude informing the user that the content they have chosen is also available in another format. It simply makes the discovery process logical and efficient for the user and supports established conventions users expect. |
