These day you can get monthly subscriptions to magazines, newspapers, streaming movies and television shows, even video games. On the iPad, you can read your periodicals, watch your shows, and play video games until your thumbs are sore. What is sorely missing from subscription-based media is books, books, books. Kids these days need less television and more reading.
Epic! – Books for Kids hopes to do something about that by offering unlimited access to as many books in their children’s book library as you want, all for only $9.99 per month.
“Kids love books, but they spend most of their time playing games and watching videos on their tablets rather than reading,” said Kevin Donahue, Co-Founder of Epic!. “As a dad, I wanted to build a product that would allow children to continue using the devices they love, but engage them with an epic reading experience.”
There are literally thousands of titles, ranging in reading age from two to 12. There are picture books, sports books, non-fiction titles, and much more. Select your age group and the category you are interested in to see a list of dozens of books related to your search.
After you open the app, you will get a free 30-day trial to experiment with all of the reading you want. After 30 days, you will be able to subscribe to the service for $9.99 per month, or at a discount annual price of $79.99.
Books can be streamed online so you don’t have to wait for a title to download before reading it. If you are planning on taking your books with you, you can turn on the offline reading option to access books on the go. Your account is synced through iCloud so you can read your books on multiple iPad devices.
Features of the service include:
Unlimited access to thousands of curated, high quality children’s books from the world’s best publishers
Personalized book recommendations based on age and interests
Instant streaming – no waiting for books to download
Badges and rewards for reading achievements
Ability for kids to rate books and collect their favorites
Offline reading when not connected to Wi-Fi
Just $9.99/month or $79.99/year
One-month free trial
Epic! – Books for Kids is available on the iPad for free with a free 30-day trial. Download it in the App Store today.
