I would like to take this moment to say thanks to all of the Vook fans who participated in our Twitter contest to increase our audience on Facebook during March.

We’re very excited that Apple is featuring our new TextVook series on the front page of the iBookstore. More than 50 TextVooks launched there this week, including 9 enhanced ebooks with our resident genius, Dr. Vook Ph.D. In celebration of this special promotion, we dropped the prices of our enhanced versions to just $2.99 and ebooks to .99 cents. Rumor has it that you can also download Psychology 101 and World War II for free. Just type TextVook in your iBookstore app to see how to get smart, quickly and become a genius like Dr. Vook, Ph.D.

One of our new arrivals on Friday in the iTunes App Store was the third animated TextVook from our second imprint, which we are very excited about. Check out a snippet below and download the full app. We’ll have a lot more TextVook news for you shortly, and who knows, Dr. Vook, Ph.D, might stop by the blog again for another intellectually stimulating interview. Stay tuned. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OyEc8djl6I[/youtube]
