This reading platform enhances the experience of reading books with synchronized music. Based in Switzerland, Bubo is an award-winning startup that is described as "a brand new dimension in storytelling." The beautifully designed illustrated books hosted on the online reading platform come synchronized with carefully curated music selections.
Currently in beta, the new venture aims to add a more emotional element to reading a book and creating a more immersive and enthralling experience. In addition to this musical feature, Bubo also comes equipped with all the other functionalities you might expect from a modern book reader, including bookmarks, sharing quotes and creating lists. The music is even timed to your reading speed so it will always match the story being told.
