LeVar Burton bringing back Reading Rainbow in app form

Burton has been looking for a way to bring back the show, first with a plan to provide webisodes, but that plan never came through. Now, it looks like Reading Rainbow 2.0 will be coming to mobile devices in app form. Or at least the reboot of the beloved program will begin in app form. The plan is to bring streaming classic episodes and DVDs after launching the app which will feature hundreds of books with a "Reading Rainbow-like" experience. 

There's no word on what exactly that will mean, when the apps will be available or what platforms it will come to, but having grown up on Reading Rainbow, we're pretty interested to see it make a comeback.
