    Hi, I am trying to reach ripple to ask some questions, but the site does not provide any email address. How can I contact you?

    I’ve been working on making a read-aloud DVD of my book, Kandu and the Magic Meadow, to package with my book and/or sell separately on my website. This solves the problem of producing and packaging it, and is a terrific service, simplifying the production and shipping! I’ll use it!

  3. Thank you for this …
    Thank you for this wonderful post! There is one clarification we’d like to add: Ripple actually is not an e-book. We designed it specifically to encourage children to listen to personalized recordings with a physical book in their laps. Our consumer site, which launches in Fall ‘09, will provide links where users can purchase the actual book if the child does not already own it. We are very excited about the positive comments your readers have added here and we look forward to serving you!

    Yay!!!! I’ll be using this for my grandson who lives far away from me soon. So cool, thank-you Jon!

    That’s so cool Jon and wow that’s great that now any loved one can record their own voice for their kids to later hear! Thanks for sharing this great site ;-)

    Very cool. Thanks for sharing. I hope no one uses it as a substitute when they COULD actually read to the child but I know this is far too valuable to worry about that. Awesome!

  7. Yes! Way Cool! I …
    Yes! Way Cool! I got an invite from Ripple Reader on my Jacket Flap account. Should have great appeal to many.

  8. Loved that!
    Loved that!

    I was actually contacted by these folks a few months ago. I am interested and told them to contact me once they were up and running.

  10. I love this. I …
    I love this. I contacted Ripple to check them out and they have a great idea. As a self publishing consultant, I’m sending this site to all my authors and will be additing Ripple to my web site.

  11. This is a great …
    This is a great idea to bridge the gap between languages as well. It is very difficult to find children books in other languages beside spanish, therefore this is a great idea to get other languages out there.
