"I think kids want the same thing from a book that adults want - a fast-paced story, characters worth caring about, humor, surprises, and mystery. A good book always keeps you asking questions, and makes you keep turning pages so you can find out the answers."

"I read over a hundred books a year and have done so since I was fifteen years old, and every book I've read has taught me something."

"I spent my life folded between the pages of books. In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction."

Tahereh Mafi, Iranian Author

"I think we did a great job of putting together a program that would have made good e-books available had people been buying e-books in any real numbers."

Time
