In 2010, Readeo founder Coby Neuenschwander and his family moved 1,500 miles away—and quickly realized video calls alone weren't enough to keep his son and son’s grandparents connected.
To bridge the distance, Coby turned to the power of stories. Combining beautifully digitized books with video chat technology, Readeo launched later that year, and BookChat™ was patented in 2012. Since then, Readeo has been committed to fostering the joy of reading between loved ones—near and far.
BookChat gives families a way to spend quality time together, even when they’re apart. We are passionate about growing our library with high-quality books that educate, entertain, and encourage little ones to let their imaginations run wild.
BookChat lets either side of the video call flip through the pages of a picture book easily. This interactive experience captures kids’ attention longer—which makes it no surprise that 90% of Readeo users prefer BookChat over other video chat services to connect with their loved ones.
