A vook is an entirely new concept that blends a well-written book, high-quality video and the power of the Internet into a single, complete story.

A vook lets you read your book, watch videos that enhance the story and connect with authors and your friends through social media. And you can do it all in the same place, on one screen, without switching between platf ...orms.

Vooks are available in two formats: As a web-based application you can read on your computer and as a mobile application for reading on-the-go. With the web-based application you don't have to download any programs or install any software. Just open your favorite browser and you can start reading and watching in an exciting new way.

You can also download and install the mobile applications through the Apple iTunes store and sync them with your Apple mobile device.

Vook was created in 2009 by Internet entrepreneur Bradley Inman, with the vision to unite the disparate worlds of books and videos into one complete, blended story.

Vook has created an innovative platform where all forms of media can come together to create a whole greater than the sum of its parts.

Vooks also enhance the community and discussion associated with reading great books and watching great films.

By weaving together content from great writers, and professionally shot and edited videos by filmmakers from TurnHere, Vook produces the final product -- a Vook.
