Books that really matter

Adoption—I wished for youI Believe in You.Books allow us to say the things that we can’t always know how to say. Using personalization as a bridge.
As you can see today, we're at the very beginning of what the book can become. Our first experiences of books come from children’s books and textbooks, but our children will have new and different experiences with books. For them books will be interactive - Content itself will be touchable, social, experiential, smart and deeply personal. Books will become not more mechanical, cold, impersonal but just the opposite. Books will talk to you and help you. Books will be connected and connecting, becoming something quite new that we’re just beginning to understand.
I invite you to join us on Put Me in the Story. All of us, together, are creating a completely new future for the book, for authors, for readers. It’s really time for us to break some of the boundaries that separate us and try to grow some of these new ideas. I hope we’ll have a chance to work together. Thank you.
