Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

BookFusion presents a viable and established cross-platform reading solution with an apparent real-world use case for organizing and reading content. However, the submission severely undermines its credibility with lazy technical details (listing 'Internet' as the technology used) and highly hyperbolic, unsupported traction claims ('most people have used my product'). Despite a 2013 launch and a stated team of 30, the vague responses result in a heavily penalized quality multiplier, placing its score below comparable established tech brands.

Description
At BookFusion, we are passionate about providing the very best reading experience regardless of content type or formats. Our mission is to revolutionize the way we read and interact with eBooks, audiobooks and articles by building a platform that allows readers to obtain, organize, read, share and derive value from content regardless of whether they are reading to learn, for work or for pleasure. After over 400 years ago since the Gutenberg printing press, reading has still remained just a flat representation of print even in the digital age. We are building a platform that provides the reading experience of the future but delivered today by adding interactivity, integrating natural language processing & machine learning and cutting edge technologies. BookFusion is available on the following platforms: Web: https://bookfusion.com/ Android Phone & Tablet: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bookfusion.android.reader&hl=en IOS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bookfusion/id1141834096 For more information, visit www.bookfusion.com/
