Children’s Picture eBook Reader for Your Computer (like eBooks on Kindle, iPads and Nooks – but for kids!)
My kids LOVE the computer. If we let them, they could spend HOURS upon HOURS playing games and watching videos. So when I was asked if we’d be interested in reviewing Ripple Reader – I knew this would be a great fit for the kiddos.
We visited RippleReader.com – setup an account for myself (parent) and each child. We next downloaded the Ripple Reader application – which is available on PC, Mac and soon iPad. We then let the kids choose a book to read. They chose Hiccupotamus by Aaron Zenes.
After going thru the check-out process, we opened the Ripple Reader app to read the book.
The eBook can be move around the screen. You can virtually flip the eBooks pages. And the feature I LOVE is the ability to record yours or your child’s voice reading the book. You can then replay as you re-read.
The Verdict?
The kids had a blast with this. They loved turning the pages, pointing at the pictures and reading. You would think they were opening a physical book for the first time.
Working in the publishing industry, this application excited me. E-books are great for adults who have e-readers – I wasn’t quite sure how kids would be able to utilize. After seeing the way my kiddos enjoyed the Ripple Reader – I am confident that children’s books in digital formats DO have a future and this is only the beginning.R
