Digiboo LLC was an American company founded in 2009 that operated a location‑based retail download service for movies and television shows. The company deployed vending‑machine‑style kiosks, often placed in public venues such as malls, truck stops, and airports, where customers could select titles from a catalog of thousands of movies and TV episodes and download the selected content directly onto a USB 3.0 flash drive, smartphone, or laptop. Download speeds were advertised as 1–3 minutes per full‑length movie.
The company was headquartered in Los Angeles, California. Key personnel included Richard Cohen (chief executive officer). Notable investors listed in public sources were Lori McCreary and actor Morgan Freeman. Digiboo’s business model combined elements of electronic commerce and digital movie distribution, positioning the kiosks as an alternative to streaming services by providing offline access without requiring an internet connection.
By the mid‑2010s, Digiboo had installed multiple kiosks across the United States, including locations such as the Davis Travel Center in Virginia. The service received coverage in outlets such as the Star Tribune (October 2012) and Variety (November 2009).
As of the latest available information, Digiboo’s operational status and financial details were unclear, and the company appears to have ceased operations sometime after 2017.
