Have you tried a Vook?
What the heck is a Vook you ask? Well, to be honest I have not tried one yet, but it looks pretty darn cool.
A vook is a new innovation in reading that blends a well-written book, high-quality video and the power of the Internet into a single, complete story -- all on one screen, without switching between platforms.
Vooks are available in two formats: As a web-based application you can read on your computer and a mobile application for reading on the go. With the web-based application you don't have to download programs or install software. Just open your favorite browser and start reading and watching in an exciting new way. You can also download and install the mobile applications through the Apple iTunes store and sync them with your Apple mobile device.
As I was checking out the Vook website, I began thinking how rich of an experience this would be and how I would of loved a Vook for some of the books I read in the past. Now some books would just not work as a Vook, but most of the self-help, inspirational, business books I have read would of been awesome. For example some books I have read that I think would of been great Vooks:
- Crushit by Gary Vaynerchuk. Oh wait it is a Vook, check out the preview
- The Greatness Guide by Robin Sharma
- Anything Seth Godin. I have read most of them. Rumour is, his new book Linchpin will be available as a Vook
- The Tipping Point by Malcom Gladwell
- A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle. Eckhart had a Vook like set up with Oprah, which was awesome.
- Freakonomics by Steven D. Levitt & Stephen J. Dubner.
- Four Hour Work Week by Tim Ferris
Of the books you read, which ones would make for a great Vook? Or just share a great book if you want. I am looking for something new to read. :-)
Are you going to try out a Vook?
