New CoverCake Channel Available from Boopsie

Boopsie and CoverCake have simplified mobile discovery of books covered by pop media. Boopsie has announced that it will offer access to CoverCake’s book discovery platform, which makes it easy for consumers to find books mentioned by such popular media as news magazines, radio, and daytime talk shows. CoverCake has created a platform that tracks, organizes, and presents book and author information highlighted on such shows as NPR, Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and The View. Clicking on the book takes the user to a page with a brief synopsis, author information, and a list of shows and movies that have featured that particular title. CoverCake allows consumers to find books featured in the last twelve months. CoverCake also provides information on whether a book is available at a local library or via online booksellers such as Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or Google Books. Separately, CoverCake is available as an iPad app, and an Android version is slated for release soon CoverCake content will be available as a separate channel on Boopsie for Libraries apps. In addition to providing information about the book and its availability at the library, patrons will be able to immediately check out books or place them on hold via their mobile devices. Boopsie customers can add the CoverCake channel to their mobile app free of charge.
