About Us

Our goal is to make tons of colorful, interactive, and fun eBooks available to as many parents, teachers and children as possible through our unique kids eBook library at a ridiculously low price. 

Most retailers sell their books for unreasonable prices.  We don't sell books.  We sell Access Passes in either 1 or 12 month options.  Pay as you go.  If you feel like buying an Access Pass one month and not the next, it's your choice.  We do NOT automatically renew credit cards and there is no need to cancel anything.  Everyone gets to try our service FREE for 14 days.

How Does it Work?

We have a unique model, where we allow our award winning content partners, independent authors, niche presses and traditional publishers to add their kids books in exchange for a share of any money we earn.

Books get added to the library, parents pay a small fee for unlimited access to tons of books for their children, kids aged 1 to 13 years old get to read fun, interactive eBooks from the comfort of their own home or using their mobile devices, and everybody wins!

Why Should I Join?

Our library encourages kids to read, making it more fun by combining the traditional look and feel of a book with a rich digital experience like follow along audio narrations, music, video and other exciting eBook features.  Not to mention, they get new books to read every week. 

Reading helps kids to learn, grow, be creative, and it's one of the most important activities they will learn to do as they get older.  We want to help you with that journey by giving your children a reason to love reading.

I am an elementary special education teacher who works with students on the autism spectrum.  My students really benefit from the audio cue to turn the pages.

Not only is this a great idea for kids, but it also introduces them to the world of technology.

I’m happy my son is learning how to use the computer to read a library of books instead of playing video games or watching TV.

It was nice not reading the same old book for the 100th time tonight. The kids were really excited about reading a book on the computer.

Authors, Illustrators and Publishers

Magicblox partners with kids book creators, enabling them to enrich children's lives around the world with their wonderful stories.  They use our self service model to quickly add books to our library.  Every book gets reviewed and audited for quality before going onto our shelves, but once it's there, the book is able to be read by users with Access Passes from a web browser, an iPad or Android tablet, as well as an iPhone or an Android phone.

We let them add their award winning books to our library for FREE.  In fact, we even pay them for adding it.  It's FREE marketing and distribution combined with an opportunity to earn some money.  We split the money we make from Access Passes, advertising and sponsorships into an author pool every month.  This pool is then paid out to each author based on how many times their book was read during the month.  It's a formula we think will change the future of independent publishing and the children's book industry.

We had been searching for a way to distribute our books digitally, and after seeing the Magicblox product, the quaility was just so much better than anything we had seen.

This is the first time I've seen a children's book site like this where it looked like someone knew what they were doing.  Very well done.

MagicBlox is helping me find a whole new audience for my book in the digital world. And I love having an audio version of my book!

     Claudia Graziano (Meerkat's Safari)

Magicblox is a wonderful opportunity for authors to share their work with a wider audience. It gives creatives another avenue to showcase some fine work that might otherwise never get published.
