101 Margaritas for iPod® Adds a Twist to Cinco De Mayo
Raybook.com Delivers Portable Digital Reference for Cocktail Enthusiasts.
Durham, NC, April 21, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Tequila sales in the U.S. are up 40 percent since 2002 according to the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States—a sure sign that consumers are clamoring for more margaritas. Raybook.com is heeding the call with the release of 101 Margaritas for iPod®, a digital, downloadable version of the book by famed cocktail designer Kim Haasarud published by Wiley.
“Raybooks allow people to turn their iPods into mobile learning devices,” according to Nate O’Keefe, co-founder and Director of Publishing for Modality. “101 Margaritas for iPod is the perfect reference for planning Cinco de Mayo parties or backyard barbeques, and recipes for sake, hazelnut or sweet ginger margaritas are intriguing departures from the everyday classic.”
Raybook is a new content platform created by Modality, Inc. that combines text, images and audio when appropriate into portable learning and reference resources for the iPod. 101 Margaritas for iPod (list price: $19.99) is available for purchase and download now at www.Raybook.com.
