Web innovated content industry and we'd like to level up the ebook market to be more compatible with web by providing URLs addressible up to character unit in book content. The service platform provides all-device covering reading applications for iOS, Android and vanilla web browsers enabling even chrome books to become advanced ebook readers. We are currently working on publisher's tool chain to let them expose their content via social medias including Facebook, blogs and news. Hyperlinks are the key ingredients for book content to reach potential readers from web services and the platform aims to give readers most advanced reading experience with the standard URLs on web browsers.

15. Personal Message
Minsu Kang - buk.io CEO
In this digital age, I believe that books must evolve into a web of
knowledge much like web sites, cross-linked to each other and shareable
by URLs.
The buk platform aims to make this sensible idea come true. So far, we
transformed 48000+ classics into URL accessible content integrated with
Wikipedia Lookup, all accessible by any device. No proprietary devices
or apps are required.
Please enjoy progresses we make by visiting http://buk.io and join the
journey by sharing your ideas and feedbacks to minsu@bbdbu.com.
Thank you.

17. Mobile Content Application
Timeline - U.S. History
This offering also shows
historic events in a timeline
interface, splitting the display
between text and images on
the top and the touch-
sensitive timeline on the
bottom … Timeline-U.S.
History is easy to use, and will
most likely teach you a thing
or two… More important, it
infuses the learning of history
with some fun.
