Electric Sheep Roku eReader Channel

wizwor · 03-04-2013, 04:31 PM

This is not my channel, but I figured I'd post something here so that any MR Roku users could help this guy test and develop his new channel since it is pretty unique. I have installed it and sampled his books. It works...just not sure what to do with it. If it worked with local media, then I think it could be very useful in a classroom.

I would love this to have a library of children's favorites with each word highlighted as it is read. It would be a great way to get kids of less literate parents to begin to enjoy reading.

Neat! And it works very smoothly, too. Not my kind of thing, but I can definitely see it would be useful to some. Now, off to the Roku forum. Haven't been there in a while.
