47000+ books from
gutenberg and included

17. Mobile Content Application
Timeline - U.S. History
This offering also shows
historic events in a timeline
interface, splitting the display
between text and images on
the top and the touch-
sensitive timeline on the
bottom … Timeline-U.S.
History is easy to use, and will
most likely teach you a thing
or two… More important, it
infuses the learning of history
with some fun.

18. Personal Message
Minsu Kang - buk.io CEO
In this digital age, I believe that books must evolve into a web of
knowledge much like web sites, cross-linked to each other and shareable by
their URLs. With this evolution, the content itself becomes the marketing
channel to expose what it refers to so that most referred content may be
read as frequently.
Fortunately, all necessary technology is out there - cloud servers, HTML5,
CSS3, dynamic URL, rich client-side programming environment and ever-
advancing web browsers to make content more like software than merely a
collection of black & white symbols.
The platform and its user service will be updated every 3 month. I hope you
enjoy every progress we make. Please visit http://buk.io and direct your
feedback to contact@bbdbu.com.
Thank you.
