E-readers have limited app ecosystems compared to tablets. Kobo's new app capability creates demand for reading-optimized utilities and games.
Create a discovery platform showcasing apps specifically designed for Kobo's e-ink displays and button navigation. Focus on reading companions, note-taking tools, and battery-efficient games.
Monetize through featured listings or take a small cut of sales. Kobos appeal to book lovers who might pay for quality reading enhancements.
MVP could be a simple directory with submission form. Later add reviews and revenue-sharing.
Risk: Kobo might build their own app store or restrict third-party apps.
