– About Atomic<\/div>\n
Atomic makes apps for reading. Our mission is to create better ways to read, better ways to learn to read, and better ways for people to connect about reading. We design and build phone, tablet, and web apps that are powered by books. We help publishers develop cloud-based services that provide digital book content to power our apps. And we develop easy-to-use internal systems that produce book content digitally, right from the start. We\u2019ve been working on our own and for Random House, Scholastic, Harcourt, and Pearson, but our best projects are happening today, as you read this, in DUMBO, with a waterfront view of Manhattan and all the Brooklyn Roasting Company coffee that you need.<\/div>\n
