In 2004 we launched iMemoryBook, a simple system that allows families to turn photos and memories into hardbound books. Three years and several thousand family histories later, MemoryPress will soon replace iMemoryBook.

We just purchased www.MemoryPress.com and are getting very close to the change over. This change has been in our plan for several months now. iMemoryBook BETA 2.0 is currently being used to test and develop the MemoryPress system. The change in names is about positioning really. Over the past 3 months, we have conducted multiple surveys and have done a lot of research. MemoryPress is simply the right name for our position. MemoryPress will be the world’s first professional online typesetting system. It will be the solution to creating your family library.

New Features
We have listened carefully to requests from all of you over the past three years. Here are some new features that will be available in the MemoryPress system:

• Microsoft Word Import.
• flickr photo import.
• A completely redesigned user interface (UI).
• iMemoryBook’s 80lb paper will be improved with the 100lb paper of MemoryPress.
• Guaranteed Library Certified Bindings on all books.
• Multiple photo uploader.

We believe that MemoryPress will revolutionize the family and personal history genre for the next generation. From baby books to wedding stories, retirement gifts to your own life story, MemoryPress helps you compile, typeset, print, bind, and ship your creation direct to your door.

Personal & Family History Focus
With the new MS Word import finally coming to fruition our focus for the next few months will be on family and personal histories. Take a look at these stats:

• 33 million Americans (15 percent of those surveyed) want to create a legacy to pass on to future generations.
• 24 million Americans (11 percent of those surveyed) have already written a personal or family history.
  *thanks to MyFamily.com for the research!

We will be giving you the power to easily put that personal or family history, currently sitting in your Word document, into a professionally bound book!

Previews of the program will be posted over the coming weeks on www.MemoryPress.com. Before the official MemoryPress release date (anticipated in August 2007), FamilyLearn will announce how MemoryPress will work for existing customers and partners (personal historians, bookstores and funeral homes).
