There's an amazing iPad app that's perfect for reading moms, dads and kids: vBookz -- an amazing app that actually makes the iPad read to the user.

It's perfect for:

1. Ensuring that kids complete their summer reading assignements- the vBookz library has over 30,000 titles and contains ALL of the Classics from Alice in Wonderland to Dr. Zhivago.

2. Acting as a learning aid to help young children learn to read.

3. Allowing Mom & Dad to have a summer novel read to them - at their own speed - while relaxing at the beach or pool

The vBookz platform is a patent-pending text-to-speech technology that audibly reads a book to its user - the next generation in eBook technology as readers can enjoy over 30,000 titles without ever having to watch the screen. The vBookz library contains each and every classic novel found on school summer reading lists. From Charles Dickens novels to Alice in Wonderland, Mark Twain and much more.

Students can use their iPads to read - or be read to - anywhere they want, enabling more efficient reading this summer.

vBookz is NOT 'books on tape'. It is a live text-to-speech generator with no need for conversion nor stored books files. It is a new way to enjoy reading: eyes-free reading for drivers, assisted reading for the sight impaired and assisted reading for children or those learning to read in a second language.

Available at The Apple Store, vBookz sells at $4.99 for US English app and an additional $4.99 per foreign language.
