Good Monday morning all! Today I featured Kobo eReading specials for the month of March.

eReading company Kobo, founded in Toronto in 2009 by Michael Serbinis has the obligatory millions of books collection in 190 countries. But what stands out is the company’s continued emphasis on children’s content, now almost 100,000 titles strong.

It has features like 18+ and parental controls, so parents can let their kids pick their own titles. Kids can make notes, highlight and look up words in the built-in dictionary while parents can set reading goals for their children and track progress with detailed reading stats.

Kobo has dedicated March as “Kobo Kids Month” with special deals and offers, in addition to Sesame Street titles are being added to the Kobo Kids Store. More than 50 Sesame Street titles including The Monster at the End of This Book, Count to 10, and How To Be A Grouch are now available worldwide starting today at the Kids’ Store.
