Disney launches new digital books

Disney Digital Books

The Disney Imagineers have been hard at work and last week released the first ever collection of Disney children’s books in digital format.

The collection is browser based and available for both PC and Mac and best of all there is nothing to download.

Disney has been writing stories for over 70 years and their digital collection promises to be entertaining.  It features over 500 stories with animated illustrations and authentic character voices.  Books include Winnie the Pooh, Mickey Mouse, Cars, Hannah Montana, Toy Story, the Disney Princesses and many more.

The stories are separated in three groups, (1) for beginner readers and a companion, (2) for independent readers, and (3) for readers ready for chapter books so it should be suitable for kids 3-12.

The service does require a $8.95 monthly fee, but there is a free trial available.

You can learn more about it and watch a live demo of the service, here.

I have always had a passion for gear and gadgets. It all started for me with the release of the very first Palm Pilot. I've always had an interest in handheld electronics. From handheld PDAs, to cell phones, Mp3 players, watches and other products, I'm the first person my friends, family and colleagues call when they need advice on tech. I have roots in the online tech. forum community. I served as the Administrator to Howard Forums.com and as a Moderator at both Treo Central.com and Blackberry Forums.net. Under the screen name “lgreenberg” I've amassed 50,000+ postings. I also manage my own YouTube channel under the user name larrygreenberg. I'm always eager to help.
