Press Release Body: (Redondo Beach, CA, September 28, 2007) - InterLingua Educational Publishing announced today that its NotePods collection of audio downloads for iPods and MP3 players arer now available through eMusic.com.
NotePods are audio summaries of books and plays by Shakespeare, Dickens, Austen and other required authors that can be played on a student's iPod, MP3 player or computer.
eMusic is the world's largest retailer of independent music and the world's second-largest digital music retailer overall, offering more than 2 million tracks from more than 13,000 independent labels spanning every genre of music. A subscription-based service that allows consumers to own, not rent their music, eMusic is the largest service to sell tracks in the popular MP3 format - the only digital music format that is compatible with all digital music devices, including the iPod.
"Fifty of the most frequently assigned books and plays are available through eMusic.com and we expect that there will be over one hundred available shortly," says Jack Bernstein, President of InterLingua. "So far, the most popular NotePods are the Shakespearean plays, with Romeo & Juliet being the number one seller, and Julius Caesar, MacBeth and Hamlet following in that order."
The NotePods are being written by university teachers and recorded by professional actors. They're different than other study aids, such as CliffsNotes, in that NotePods are very detailed summaries that provide character and story information. Literary analysis is left to the instructor. The shortest NotePod is about 20 minutes (Romeo & Juliet) and the longest is almost three hours (Gulliver's Travels). By formatting the summaries for iPod's and MP3 players, students can study while riding on the bus, jogging, biking, lounging, or even walking the dog."
InterLingua Educational Publishing, a Southern California-based publisher founded in 1992, has been aggressively expanding its offerings to the K-12 and higher education markets. Its portfolio of products now includes: the TADELL line of K-8 bilingual math assessment and development workbooks; bilingual math glossaries / posters / flash cards; bilingual GED prep materials; and now, the latest new product introduction, NotePods.
