Personal MessageMinsu 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 URLs.
The buk platform aims to make this sensible idea come true. So far, we transformed 48000+ classics into URL accessible content integrated with Wikipedia Lookup, all accessible by any device. No proprietary devices or apps are required.
Please enjoy progresses we make by visiting http://buk.io and join the journey by sharing your ideas and feedbacks to [email protected].
Thank you.

Mobile Content ApplicationTimeline - 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.

The future electronic book platform in active service with incremental enhancement. The first opening in January 2015 offered Wikipedia for Readers service. The recent update in April added 47000+ books from gutenberg and included sidebar lookup as well as many detailed features.
The service will be updated every 3 month to provide an ever-innovating content service to its readers/writers/publishers/designers.
