Sesame Workshop, the non-profit organization behind Sesame Street, has partnered with iPublishCentral to convert as many as 900 of over 5,000 published Sesame Street books into eBooks. iPublishCentral has empowered Sesame Workshop to offer a whole new reading experience to their readers through the Sesame Street eBookstore, which is run and managed by us.
Leveraging iPublishCentral, Sesame Workshop now offers content in the most innovative, engaging and user friendly formats appealing to both children and their parents, as well as complements their ongoing print publishing titles.
The online portal offers more than one hundred eBooks with new titles being added on a regular basis. The eBooks feature audio narration, interactivity and animation bringing popular Sesame Street characters to life. These digital versions aim at enhancing the reader experiences and aid in the understanding of life lessons and educational curriculum.
Sesame Street leveraged iPublishCentral to offer its eBookstore as an app on the iPad. The app provides access to more than 150 Sesame Street eBooks, which are also available via an online subscription on the Sesame Street eBookstore. The app is available for free in Apple’s App Store. Users can browse title selection free of charge. To read all eBook titles, the app invites users to subscribe to either one month of full access for $3.99 or one year of unlimited access for $39.99. Current subscribers of the Sesame Street eBookstore can use the app to access their bookshelf with an iPad and will not need to make an additional subscription purchase.
Through this strategic alliance, iPublishCentral and Sesame Workshop aim to provide engaging, educational media that will help children reach their highest potential.
