Seattle-based Nation9 is a next-generation digital and interactive publisher. The company, founded in November 2011 and based in Kirkland, publishes its own line of tablet-based children’s books and also has a collaboration platform that helps writers, designers, developers and others come together from around the world to build titles.
Nation9 books come to life on a tablet and allow kids to move objects on the screen, uncover hidden facts and read-along with narrative functions. This helps the reader stay engaged while still keeping the story intact. It’s making reading cool and fresh.
I am excited about one of the projects they recently released....Pilgrim's Progress. Nation9′s adaptation of this classic features custom 3D animation, story-line interactivity, captivating original music, and optional narration that will be sure to captivate young readers time and time again.
