Recently, A Story Before Bed became the first (and still only) service on the internet to let parents and grandparents separated from their kids, record video of themselves reading children’s stories synchronized to the pages of a book onscreen. All Thanksgiving weekend, stories on A Story Before Bed will be on sale for only $4.99 per recording.

Since launch, parents on business trips, grandparents who live far away, and military parents deployed away from their families are all recording stories for their loved ones on A Story Before Bed. Children are reading stories to their parents and grandparents too. Educators of the hearing-impaired are using A Story Before Bed to record American Sign Language videos accompanying children’s books.

Thanksgiving is a time when many families come together. With family in town, what better time to sit down and record a few stories using A Story Before Bed. Internet skills and capabilities are different in all folks. Sometimes it can help when grandparents are in town for parents to set up the computer and webcam and let grandma and grandpa record some bedtime stories for the grandkids right in the web browser. When the grandparents go home, the kids will still be able to watch grandma and grandpa read them bedtime stories over and over again.

Up until now, recordings on A Story Before Bed have been sold for $6.99 per recording. Because Thanksgiving is the perfect time to record more stories, from Thursday, November 26, 2009 – Sunday, November 29, 2009, all stories on the site are only $4.99 per recording. There are over fifty quality children’s books in the library right now with more coming all the time. Customers can preview any of the books on the site, and record any story they like for free. You only need to pay once you’re happy with your recording and want to keep it. 1-800 free live tech support will be open regular hours during the entire sale including on Saturday and Sunday if you need it. The price will go back up to $6.99 per recording on Monday, November 30, 2009.

We wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving, and happy recording on A Story Before Bed.
