This technology creates a more life-like listening experience for audiobooks and will be a part of the Möbius book experience. With the Möbius app, users will be able to enjoy immersive reading with text+binaural audio and social interaction features. ⁠

After spending a weekend with world-famous author Agatha Christie, Lane realized that there were no quality books available in train stations, only magazines and pulp fiction. To ensure the success of his business model, he had to sell at least 17,000 copies of each book he published, yet after just one year, three million copies of the first ten published books of the new house were sold! 📚
