| Details | Follett Corporation today announced the acquisition of technology firm Fourteen40 Inc., an innovator of Web 2.0 social networking for collaborative learning. The acquisition includes Fourteen40's social networking solution called CafeScribe (http://www.CafeScribe.com), an online site at which students can browse, purchase and download eBooks that they need for class.
Once the eBook is downloaded, the students use a digital content reader called MyScribe to easily read and annotate the eBook, search the Internet and share notes with others as they study. The social networking tools within CafeScribe give students the option to invite others into the virtual equivalent of study groups.
CaféScribe is an e-book marketplace and social network for students to study smarter and faster. The CaféScribe.com website and MyScribe client reading application are creations of Fourteen40, Inc. Fourteen40 derives its name from the year 1440 when Gutenberg invented the printing press. Gutenberg's invention ushered in a new age of learning and discovery. Today, Fourteen40 is taking electronic books to the next level through the power of collaborative note sharing networks, innovative content indexing tools, and the most intuitive reading interface in the market. |
