NEW YORK, June 26, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Human Kinetics, a publisher of educational products that promote physical activity and wellness, has partnered with Impelsys to make available a subscription to a collection of 21 eBooks written for newcomers to sports such as golf and tennis.
The initial subscription, which allows for access to the complete collection of Human Kinetics' Steps to Success Sports Series, is on sale now for just $9.99. The titles are accessible on an eBooks portal that is powered by Impelsys' iPublishCentral, a digital publishing software platform that allows publishers to warehouse, deliver, distribute, market and sell their eBooks without making significant capital or engineering resource investments on their own.
The Human Kinetics eBooks portal is located at ebooks.humankinetics.com.
"For many sports, learning every rule, skill, tactic, and strategy can be intimidating," said Jason Muzinic, Vice-President & Consumer Division Director of Human Kinetics. "Steps to Success was developed to make that process easier and more fun. The progressive instruction has helped millions of readers advance their knowledge and skill on the court, field, pool or range. It's one of our best-selling series, and ideally suited for this unique service."
The Steps to Success Sports Series is the most extensively researched and carefully developed set of books ever published for teaching and learning sport skills. Each of the books in this series offers a complete progression of skills, concepts, and strategies that will help readers get into the action as soon as possible.
The new Steps to Success collection of sports eBooks includes access to titles for the following sports and activities: Archery; Badminton; Basketball; Bowling; Cricket; Fencing; Field hockey; Football; Golf; Netball; Racquetball; Rifle; Rugby; Soccer; Softball; Squash; Swimming; Table tennis; Tennis; Volleyball; and Weight training. These eBooks are available in all major software formats, including iPad and Android-based mobile devices.
"This partnership with Human Kinetics is an excellent example of how we collaborate with our customers to build and deliver customized eBooks marketplaces, enabling them to sell their eBooks directly to their readers without any additional online retailers involved," said Sameer Shariff, founder and CEO of Impelsys. "In addition to the development of the portal for this special series of eBooks, the Impelsys social media team and our other professionals will be working hard to drive sales of these eBooks and maximize revenues for Human Kinetics."
