Sam's Interactive Reader for children powered by Adobe AIR

The team at Storybook Anytime has recently released several major updates to their popular Sam's Interactive Reader, a child-safe, downloadable application that allows children to discover the fun of reading and learning through interactive media. The application includes a growing catalogue of interactive content for children ranging from three to nine years old. Content is priced anywhere from free to $2.99 and can be purchased through the embedded shopping cart. It's possible to purchase gift cards through the website. Recently, the team localized its interactive content to Spanish as well.

From a development standpoint, there are many ways the team behind this application interacts with their user community. In addition to having a Facebook application called Sam's Fish Bowl that synchronizes data with their AIR application, the development team also maintains a blog and a Twitter account. Also, the team provides its library free of charge to pre-schools, libraries and elementary schools. Congratulations to the Storybook Anytime team for their recent releases! The application, powered by Adobe AIR, can be downloaded from the Sam's Interactive Reader website.
