SEATTLE, April 2 /PRNewswire/ -- On March 31, 2010 at 5:53 p.m. Cupertino time, Jackson Fish Market was notified by Apple that their brand-new app - A Story Before Bed for iPad - was approved for launch and will be available for iPad customers at launch.
Back in November of 2009 Jackson Fish Market launched A Story Before Bed (http://www.astorybeforebed.com) as the first and (still) only service that lets parents and grandparents record videos of themselves reading children's picture books to their kids. As enjoyable as it has been for children to watch mom or grandpa read them a story on their computer, these cherished video memories can now also be played back over and over on the iPad.
In a recent keynote speech titled "The Future of Digital Distribution and Ebook Marketing" at the Tools of Change conference, Tim O'Reilly, Founder and CEO of O'Reilly Media, described A Story Before Bed as a "fabulous product." He went on to say that "A Story Before Bed is a specialty retailer. But it's a specialty retailer that has figured out something really unique about social media. That social media is literally part of the product. You basically buy this product to share with someone else. And that's a really powerful insight."
This first-of-its-kind app in the world is totally free and comes bundled with a pre-recorded version of the classic story "The Frog Princess" at no cost. With A Story Before Bed for iPad customers can record their own stories from Jackson Fish Market's library of high-quality children's books, including classics such as: The Itsy Bitsy Spider, The Emperor's New Clothes, The Brementown Musicians, Three Billy Goats Gruff, Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll, Hush Little Baby, The Princess and the Pea, Hansel and Gretel, The Farmer in the Dell, and many, many more. There will soon be over 100 quality children's books in the library, with more being added every single week from publishers such as Charlesbridge, Immedium, Bubblegum, Gingerbread House, and Chronicle Books.
Also, customers who record and purchase a story in the first 24 hours after downloading the app will get a coupon for a free recording of their choice from Jackson Fish Market's collection of classics. That's two stories for the price of one.
Jenny Lam, Co-Founder of Jackson Fish Market, the company behind A Story Before Bed, added, "Since we first shipped A Story Before Bed in the fall of last year we've always known that the experience wouldn't be complete until you could really curl up in bed with grandma or dad reading you a story as you drift off to sleep. As much as we love our laptops, the iPad is the first real bedtime computer that makes the experience of A Story Before Bed shine."
Walter Smith, also Co-Founder of Jackson Fish Market, added, "Don't forget to tell everyone that we're very close to releasing a version of A Story Before Bed for iPhone 3GS as well."
