We want our future leaders to have unlimited access to a giant library of books that they can enjoy anywhere, anytime through the web or their tablet devices. We also want authors and publishers to have the ability to freely bring those books to you.
Over the first year, we've learned a lot about our customers and authors and we need to renovate our product. We're currently behind the curtain improving the design and flow of our site, building native iPad and Android tablet apps, and improving the content creation process, but we're tight on money and need your help to finish development.
We hope you see our vision and in exchange for helping, we'll reward you. See below for details. Anything helps, so please donate even as little as $1 . The money we raise will help us finish MagicBlox 2.0 and make our library more accessible to kids around the world.
A couple times per year The Lincoln Elementary School Dads Club in Burlingame puts on a movie night, and this year we have been chosen as the pre-show entertainment. If you live in or near Burlingame, CA, come on out on November 18th to enjoy some fun stories and the newest Disney release, Cars 2.
Note: If you want to support Lincoln Elementary School, you can use the coupon code 'LINCOLN' on checkout and they will earn a portion of your annual access pass payment.
Autumn begins on September 23rd, so with just a few more weeks of warm summer nights left, come join us in the park with the city of Burlingame for story time and movie night! Pack up the sleepingbags and roll out the wooly blankets for an evening of entertainment on the grass. We are so proud to be the pre-movie entertainment. We'll read a few short stories and sing some popular songs from some of our audio books while everyone gets settled and ready to watch Toy Story 3 and Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory in the park. It'll be a lot of fun!!
One year may not seem like a huge milestone for most, but it is for Magicblox.
Magicblox has a goal to make tons of colorful, interactive, and fun eBooks available to as many parents, teachers and children as possible through their unique kids eBook library.
Jason Lane - Founder & Chief Executive Officer is a technology veteran who has spent his career building digital media systems and other business applications for the entertainment industry.
He started Magicblox because he enjoys helping kids grow and learn. As a father himself, he loves spending time reading with his son and he also realizes that the kids of today are the leaders of tomorrow so we need to give them great tools and training to make our world a better place.
One year may not seem like a huge milestone for most, but it is for us here at Magicblox.
To begin, our library has grown exponentially and we continue to add new books every week for you to enjoy and the rate is increasing.
We started the library with self-published authors in mind, but we quickly expanded to support all publishing houses who have books that could use a little extra exposure.
Our team has been refining the content loading process to allow our busy authors and publishers to add their books easier and faster.
We've also enabled the iPad, iPhone, and Android mobile platforms, giving you easy portable access to Magicblox almost anywhere.
Lastly, we've also been adding a few new team members to help bring you lots of exciting enhancements we have planned for you in our second year ahead.
We're especially thankful to you, our readers, parents, and fans. It is because of your commitment and dedication that we have adopted the motto "Today a reader, Tomorrow a leader." With every new registered user and Access Pass sold, we've been able to give authors and publishers from around the world an incentive to add their educational, fun and inspirational books to our library for you to enjoy. Schools, homeschoolers, parents and special ed teachers around the world have been using our books to supplement their kids reading goals.
Our Spanish books have also become quite popular with children & adults who are learning a second language.
Thank you to all of our authors & publishers. Your books continue to make a huge difference to families from more than 109 different countries.
This weekend, Magicblox will be teaming up with one of our premium content partners, Little Pickle Press in booth #348, to help change the lives of children around the world.

I just found out my father lost his job and we have to move. My name is Maximus, but you can call me "Max." I am a five-year-old yellow English Labrador Retriever and this is my first children's book in a series called, "Read with Max." As you read my story, I'll share my moving adventure with you from my point of view. My book includes many photos of my friends and me during my moving experience. After you finish reading my book, you will know that if I can move, you can move too.
