Vook is experiencing some success in Apple’s Education Bulk Buy program which allows us to offer several of our education catalogues at 50 percent off.

We see as many as 200-250 purchase at a time of our TextVook series, written by Dr. Vook (with some major help from the Charles River group out of Boston). These are short-form (4,000 words) with animations in each of the eight 500-word chapters. They are dense and to the point, here is a sample.

Vook is rapidly extending its technology platform to literary agents, authors, book packagers, curators, publishers, networks and trainers. Helping us make that happen is a growing group of VookMakers who source and curate content for Vook and use our platform to publish directly to 12,000 points of distribution.

We are currently recruiting one specific breed of VookMakers who can scout content, curate it, package it and use our platform to publish the work.

Here is what we are looking for:

Creation: We want text, images, video, and design. We want experimentation, we want art, and we want an audience. You’ll need to be able to blend multimedia into a comprehensible whole.
Curation: You won’t be able to produce enough titles on your own. At Vook, we reward initiative: We want you to reach out to other bloggers, authors, videographers, and designers. We want you to grow your network and recruit other creators. As a Vookmaker, you’ll be part editor and part originator.

The explosion of content in 2011 has brought a multitude of price points to the digital consumer, from $0.99 self-published works to $12.99 digital front-list titles. Because an eBook’s exposure also often correlates to its price, a comprehensive pricing strategy is necessary to expose great digital content and maximize revenue. We began a pricing study in early 2011 and have built a deep expertise around eBook merchandising. Our pricing white paper details what we’ve learned from our extensive price testing in the digital marketplace. It serves as a resource for anyone trying to find the right price point in the “wild west” of app, eBook, and web-based storefronts. We’ve crystalized our research into our proprietary Vook Pricing Engine—a key part of Vook’s business analytics toolkit.
