As mentioned in a post<\/a> I wrote a couple of weeks ago, we’re hard at work building the ‘beta’ version of bookleteer to make it simpler to use, more robust and developing new features to make it even more useful. However, this does come at a cost and we’re low on funds to pay for the costs of programming and hosting the service.<\/p>\n

Last Autumn we set up the Alpha Club<\/a> as an experiment in asking friends and supporters to help us ‘crowdfund’ some of the costs associated with developing bookleteer. So far almost two thousand pounds has been donated to the project, but its a long way short of the \u00a310,000+ in programming fees and costs we’re on course to spend in 2010 – do please make a donation if you enjoy using it and want to support us. As an added sweetener, we’ll send a special pack of the brand new, larger StoryCubes to anyone who donates \u00a325 or more and joins the Alpha Club in September and October. Members also get discounts on any PPOD<\/a> orders that they make for professionally printed eBooks & StoryCubes.<\/p>\n

Please get in touch<\/a> to join Alpha Club or<\/em> make a secure donation via Paypal:<\/p>\n
