Disney To Put An End To Those Pesky Paper Books By Putting Them Online

As a parent I love a little one-on-one time with the son and daughter in front of a good book. What I don't like are those crap-gasmic Disney books that float through every child's book collection, titles like "The Jungle Book" that are basically advertisements for the movies. And what I really don't like is this new initiative by Disney and their partner to suck the life out of even those abhorrent configurations of words. That said, you can probably tell what I think of these online versions of over 500 Disney books available now at DisneyDigitalBooks . Kids can read over 500 Disney books, make their own books, and even "befriend Disney characters," as creepy as that sounds. TechCrunch50 Conference 2009 : September 14-15, 2009, San Francisco
