Innovative eBook format promises to improve reading speeds, comprehension and language learning skills
Wednesday, August 19, 2009

Sylvan Dell Publishing is offering a free trial of 45 eBooks.

These technologically advanced eBooks feature auto-flip, auto-read and selectable language (English and Spanish).

“There is nothing even close to this on the market,” said Lee German, publisher and co-founder. “Amazon/Kindle and Barnes & Noble eBooks are not even in the same category. I encourage parents and teachers to take a test drive and see for themselves. Let the children play with these for a few weeks, and you’ll be amazed at their excitement and improved reading performance. For children wanting to learn a foreign language or ESOL families learning English, these are phenomenal tools.”

The offer expires Oct. 31.

German said the company is developing an audio feature that will allow people to record their own voices reading the book.

“This is especially important for military families with a parent overseas,” he added.

The company is also working on creating an iPhone, iPod and iPod touch application to allow eBooks to be read on handhelds, as well as an online data capture system so teachers can track student reading and quiz performance.

What do people really think of having paid parking on Sullivan’s Island?
All for it, as long as residents get a sticker to put on their car to be exempt from it.
 
Why is this fair- I have been coming to the beach for years and I support your commercial district.
 
Sure, considering that the neighboring beaches, Folly and Isle of Palms, have paid parking. Sullivan’s can certainly use the revenue for the many projects they need completed, mainly installing the stormwater drainage.
 

What do you think of Sullivan's Island's new noise ordinance, restricting noise from 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM?
Ridiculous -- what next, we will get fined to just walk in the commercial district?
 
All for it -- people cannot keep their windows open at night anymore because of the noise.
 
I am just going to go elsewhere to make some noise!
