Digital textbook and non-fiction learning developer Inkling announced an acquisition of two brands of content from Open Air Publishing, adding its Betterbook and Ready, Set, Baby! and titles to Inkling’s offerings.
“Open Air Publishing has become a leader in interactive publishing, and we’ve watched these brands blossom on our platform over the last few years,” said Matt MacInnis, Founder and CEO of Inkling, in a press release. “These award-winning titles show the power of Inkling for consumer content, and we’re excited to have them be a part of our portfolio directly for consumers.”
“I’m proud of what our innovative team has built these past two years, along with our outstanding authors and on-video experts,” continued Jon Feldman, Founder and CEO of Open Air Publishing. “Now, with direct access to the underlying technologies that made our innovations possible, our media-rich and engaging learning content will benefit from Inkling’s deeper resources to reach even more people.”
Both companies have several year histories of providing award-winning content to digital learners through interactive, enhanced, app-based products. This tie-in will enable both partners to offer fully integrated content to an even wider audience of users.
