"Children's books, especially in print, is the largest growing sector in publishing globally." - Publishers Weekly
SmartBound is developing illustrated books with integrated, patented technology. When a reader contacts various points on each page, the books spring to life with corresponding high quality audio. Our books provide an interactive, multimedia experience unlike anything that has come before. Based in Austin, Texas, SmartBound is the only company producing books of this type.
Our initial titles will be geared towards early education, such as letter sounds, sight words and counting as well as the introduction of sounds associated with instruments, animals, cities, farms and the like. We are also developing books inspired by nursery rhymes, lullabies and popular music.
We also have plans to partner with major publishers to adapt the most well-known storybooks to the SmartBound format. SmartBound's interactive features make even the most familiar stories feel fresh. Ultimately, we hope to establish a new standard, such that every picture book from every publisher will be distributed in a traditional version, audio version and "SmartBound" version.
Our intellectual property has additional applications beyond picture books, including foreign language, sheet music, biographies, textbooks and a wide variety of games and "app-like" interaction. SmartBound is enhancing the books of today and shaping the books of tomorrow.
We are currently interested in forming strategic relationships with well established players in Publishing, Educational Technology, Consumer Electronics and Educational Toys. If you believe that your organization may be a good fit and are interested in learning more, email info@SmartBound.com.
