The Challenge

During the development of Interactive E-Book application, several challenges were encountered. One of the significant challenges was customizing the folio reader kit to create a new library specifically designed for users. This customization was essential to provide a unique and tailored reading experience within the app. Another challenge involved implementing device authentication to ensure a fair usage policy. The application allows users to authorize up to five devices per account. Once the device limit is reached, users must deauthorize an existing device before logging in on a new one. This process ensures that the app can be used securely and prevents unauthorized access to users' accounts.
