Scholastic releases iPad e-reader app for kids
According to PaidContent, Scholastic brought its catalog of children's books to the iPad. The recently updated Storia app taps into Scholastic's ebook store which boasts of over 1,000 children's titles. The titles in the bookstore are organized by grade level, reading level, age and character/series. When you download the Storia app, you'll get five free ebooks so you can try out the app without any upfront cost. If you like the app, you can sign up for a Scholastic.com account, and purchase titles that your children can read on your iPad. Besides standard ebooks, there's also 150+ enhanced titles that include games and other interactive content. The Storia app also tracks the child's reading progress and lets you manage different bookshelves for multiple children. The Storia app is available for free from the iOS App Store. Books cost from US$0.99 to $9.99.
Scholastic enters the e-book fray with Storia and 1,000 children's stories
Between Google Books, iBooks, Nook, Kindle, Kobo, Sony... you'd figure the e-book field was crowded enough, right? Well, if you're specifically in the market for children's stories, things might look a little less packed. We guess that's why Scholastic is attempting to enter the fray with Storia, an e-reading app and store designed for kids. As part of a massive digitization effort, the company has launched Storia in beta for Windows and the iPad, alongside a market of over 1,000 titles. By the time it officially launches in the fall Scholastic hopes to have a fully stocked digital library of over 2,000 books loaded with interactive features. You can download the beta now with five free e-books by hitting up the more coverage link.
