Thanks Didier.
Well if it is not available in Paris, it is likely only available on the 
playstore here in South Africa.
Thanks for checking for me.

I forgot to provide my address in the message, sorry about that.
For the rest, it is wvdwalt at csir.co.za

Yes, iSinkwe is the Zulu name for the bushbaby.
A bushbaby has large eyes and large ears.
This points to the fact that one can read and listen to the same content 
at the same time as the text is being highlighted as it is spoken.

The app is just the reader, but our real product is the software that 
creates the epub with the media overlays from a standard epub3 file.
Regards, Willem
