Bubo

Read and test free ebooks with immersive music & beautiful illustrations

Try our sample stories and get free books!

Experience beautifully illustrated classic books with synchronized music and let us know what you think. In our first beta test app we offer you two free offline short stories for kids and adults, accompanied by instrumental music that changes with the plot and your own reading speed.

This beta app is only a small sample of what is to come. If you give us feedback, you will be rewarded with two books for free (one for you and one for a friend) when Bubo officially launches. We are still ironing out a few issues (performance, battery, size and some bugs) so we need to learn from you in order to make the experience even better.

With your help, Bubo can become the best ebook reader for immersing yourself in classic literature, children stories or your favourite novel with the emotion of movie music and the uniqueness of a beautiful illustration.

Sounds good? Try Bubo and discover it for yourself!
