KBN introduces the first large screen electronic media reading technology. KBN names it readio.

Feb. 18, 2010 - PRLog -- The Kids’ Book Network today announced the launch of a new family entertainment experience with complete page-turning books that can be viewed and read for free, live and full-screen, on the KBN website.
   “Reading is back – and it’s coming back big,” said KBN CEO and literacy advocate Uncle Henry.
   “Now kids and their families can read complete books right on their computer without the need to purchase any special reading device like the Kindle or iBook Tablet.
   “These books can be viewed in bright color and as big as you like – across the full size of your computer screen or even projected across a full classroom or family room wall.
    “We’ve decided to name this new media experience readio.
     "Readio. After saying it a few hundred times you get used to it.
   “Now kids and their parents can snuggle down after dinner, eat popcorn, and instead of watching old cartoons or other dreary TV reruns actually read a fresh, smart, witty, or even high-suspense story together – from a real book projected on their big new family book center wall,
   “And of course KBN broadcasts all of its books and this new reading experience through the internet for free.
   “After reading a new KBN live-format flashbook registered KBN visitors can still download the same books as well, to be formed and printed as authentic and permanent on-paper, page-turning books.
   “KBN’s growing library of books will now begin to accelerate more rapidly, with more international authors beginning to join KBN and more books in every genre.
   “We will of course continue to publish many more of our signature all-family, all-level picture books. Arguably no other publisher today can match their charm and style. But we will also begin to introduce more edgy action and adventure books for young adults, too. Plus many more of the best classics.”
