" Without the KITABOO online publishing software and licensing model, our product would still be in the development phase. Here we are, 2 years later, servicing school districts and customers in 20 states throughout the United States and GROWING every day! It is a heartfelt statement that we wouldn't be where we are without the KITABOO team! "
