Anyway, I took a look at your project. Some ideas:
* I expected a cover page with some artwork+title
* The form factor is a square, that is very strange. I expect something like a book like A5. It also may help to read it in the phone.
* I imagine this is for 4-8 year old kids. I think 49 pages is too long. Probably 10 or 15 is better, but I'm not sure what is the opinions of the parents that are the ones that have the credit card.
* Here in Argentina it's getting popular to teach only capital print letters, so you may offer an option for the allcaps version (aimed to 6-7 year old kids).
There are cover pages, multiple examples on the site, both in image form 'proofs', actual physical book copies, and free e-book downloads.
Originally made for my own kids, who seem to like square books better. Future roll outs including A5 is a good idea.
I decided on longer books to help teach more focus / attention and long form tracking of a story. I figured if a kid still can't / doesn't like long form, one could just read a few chapters. For older kids, the longer books might be even better too.
Good idea on all caps, but for now this is the only time I have heard of this. If I here similar from other's, I can add it to the roadmap. For now this may be just an Argentina quirk?
I saw a few in the images in the webpage, but I assumed they were hallucinations by the AI because the free books don't have one. I think you should add one to the free pdf samples.

Interesting. I didn't notice any preference.

It'a recent event, since a few years. You can even go to a bookstore and buy the normal version or the allcaps version al some books for kids.
