About Epic!

Inspired by their own children, cofounders Suren Markosian and Kevin Donahue created Epic! to nurture a lifelong love of reading and learning in kids everywhere. Their solution was to build a platform that made it as fun and easy to access high-quality books on devices as it was to play games and watch videos. Then they offered the service for free to schools so that all kids could enjoy them.

Today, Epic! is the world’s largest  digital reading platform for kids, providing more than 10 million children safe access to its vast library of 35,000 books, videos, and audiobooks.
