Problem discovery & validation
I am 2x founder working on the next problem that I am looking to solve.
My hypothesis is that we are seeing a strong decline in number of people who read books. There are various readons behind it. I am listing them one by one
-
Stuffed Bookshelf: Lot of people who loved to read buy a book, but end up stuffing them in bookshelf. Once the bookshelf is fully stuffed they are not anle to buy more, hence they stop reading.
-
Sharing of book leads to losing ownership: For many people who have lot of books, when share their books with friends/family/colleagues the chances of them getting the book back is tends to 0
-
Experience across reading is broken: when reading from paperback, they are not able to make notes, highlight paras and reloook at them later woth context, not able to track bookmarks etc
-
Because of discontinuity across all the medium of book reading user shift from one medium to another, but is not able to stick to one medium for long.
I would love to hear thoughts from people of community and understand why are you not reading books? What according to you is challenge ?
TIA!
