8 inch GoBook Imagine - Touchscreen Colour eBook Reader

SAY HELLO TO GOBOOK

The GoBook Imagine is the next generation of eReaders. With a full colour touchscreen thats about the same size as a traditional paperback, its no wonder that kids prefer reading eBooks!

LETS GET READING

GoBooks can be a helping hand to your ‘Read A Day’. The campaign aims to encourage parents and children to ensure that they have dedicated part of their day to reading.

CHILD FRIENDLY

The GoBook Imagine is straightforward and fun to use. Its got a fingerprint resistant screen and a hardwearing aluminium chassis so its perfect for little fingers!


GoBook is a grown-up gadget, for young readers. Its designed to be child friendly and straightforward to use, but it doesn’t look like a toy. Children love to emulate older children as well as their parents; and with GoBook they can sit side by side a feel like a real grown-up, while reading content that both appeals and engages them.

TOUCH AND GO

The Goook Imagine has a ‘resTouch’ touchscreen that makes using it really straightforward. Its perfect for kids because when you see something you want you ‘Touch and Go’ straight to it. When you turn a page GoBook even has a realistic page turn effect so theres still the association with a printed book.


The display is vibrant and colourful to make the most of colourful, animated ebooks. GoBook is great to read at bedtime because its LED backlit screen is its own light source, meaning the GoBook doesnt rely on ambient light like many eInk eReaders.
