Whiteboarding | A new Audiobook experience

Dog-eared audiobooks!

Prompt

This prompt is from Artiom Dashinsky’s design challenge book.

Audiobooks and podcasts are the fastest growing audio segments on mobile. Users who listen to audiobooks don’t enjoy the benefits of touching pages, highlighting excerpts or leaving notes on their favorite pages. They also lose the nostalgic aspects of owning a book and watching it age. This leaves a lot to be desired from the audio experience on mobile.

Design an audiobook or podcast mobile app that is highly personal, highly interactive and with the ability to bring even more utility to the user than a book ever could.

Constraint: All suggested technologies need to exist, or should realistically exist within the next six months.
