Free eBooks
At kuumba, we understand that financial constraints should never be a barrier to learning and exploring the literary universe. That’s why we’ve introduced our unique crowdfunding feature. How does it work? It’s simple!
- Select the eBook or textbook you wish to read
- Instead of purchasing the Book outright, opt for our crowdfunding option.
- Create a campaign to raise the necessary funds. you can share your campaign with friends, family, or across the kuumba social networks.
- As funds are raised, they are directly applied to your book choice, allowing you to start reading as soon as you have enough to cover the pages you want to read.
This system ensures everyone has the opportunity to access the books they need or want to read, regardless of their financial situation. It’s part of our commitment to making reading more accessible and affordable to all
Micropayments (Pay-Per-Page)
Our pay-per-page model is designed to give you the ultimate flexibility and control over your reading expenditure. Here’s how it works:
- Choose the eBook or textbook you wish to read.
- Instead of buying the whole book, you can opt to pay only for the pages or chapter you intend to read.
- The cost per page is calculated by dividing the total of the book by the number of pages.
Let’s take the example. imagine a book that costs $10 and has 300 pages. The cost per page would be $0.033 ($10/300). This means, if you only read 50 pages, you’d only pay $1.65. You only pay for what consume, making your reading experience truly tailored and economical.
With Kuumba, you have the freedom to explore a vast literary world without breaking the bank!
Community Membership
At Kuumba, we’re passionate about making literature accessible to everyone. Our unique Community Membership is designed to democratize access to a vast array of eBooks, and potentially audiobooks, completely free of charge. This model enables us to provide an enriching experience that not only nurtures the love of reading but also contributes positively to our society, especially for the younger generation.
Unlike traditional social platforms that often focus on capturing users’ attention without giving back, our goal is to provide a space that encourages learning, curiosity, and intellectual growth. As part of our Community Membership, users have full access to our library of books while their engagement on the community platform helps to generate ad revenue. This revenue is then used to ensure authors and publishers are fairly compensated for their incredible work, thereby supporting the creation of more quality literature.
But our commitment to the community doesn’t stop there. We believe that reading should be incentivized and rewarded. Therefore, a portion of our ad revenue will be redirected into programs designed to stimulate the love for reading among our users, particularly the youth. These initiatives could include reading challenges, competitions, and direct monetary rewards.
In this way, Kuumba is turning the traditional advertising model on its head. Rather than merely benefiting our platform, the generated revenue nourishes the entire ecosystem of readers, authors, and publishers. Join us in our mission to not only make literature universally accessible but also to inspire a love for reading and create a brighter future for the next generation of thinkers and creators
