Digital textbooks for secondary schools
Every textbook, on every student's device, from day one.
One place for all your school's digital textbooks, under your school's own name. Less admin for your staff, and the right book for every student.
Works in the browser. Nothing to install.
What we take off your plate
The jobs your staff no longer do, from the first day of term.
No codes, no new passwords
Students sign in with the Google or Microsoft account they already have, or with one click from your LMS.
Teachers ready on day one
Every teacher and school admin gets the book the day you buy it, where the publisher gives teacher copies.
Licences that come back
A book hire licence returns when a student leaves, ready for the next one. No licence is lost to a student who has gone.
No re-typing rosters
Upload your student list as a CSV. Big changes wait for a person to check them. New students arriving from your LMS are added on their first click.
Many publishers, many titles
All of them sit on one shelf, behind one sign-in.
Your school's name on it
A custom URL just for your school, with your school's logo, so students know they are in the right place.

From purchase to page in three steps
Your school buys licences for a book.
One licence or five hundred, for a term of 12 to 60 months.
The book lands on your school's shelf.
Every teacher and school admin gets a copy the same day, where the publisher gives free teacher copies.
Your admin gives licences to students, and they start reading.
Tick the students, or select all, and assign them together. Students sign in at your school's address, or from your LMS.
Safe for students. Safe for publishers.
Students see pages. They never get the file, and nobody is watched more than needed.
Stored in Sydney
Student data is kept in a data centre in Sydney, Australia.
No IP addresses
The platform stores no IP address for a reader, and lists no devices.
Private notes
A student's notes are never shared. Teachers see progress, not each page opened.
The PDF stays put
Pages are sent as pictures, a few at a time. The book file never leaves our server.
Traceable pages
Every page picture carries a code that traces it to a reading session, with no name in it.
Schools kept apart
Each school's data is separated inside the database itself, not only in the app.

Publishers and resellers
Publishers run their own books in their own portal, and see licences bought by each school, never student names. Resellers see the schools they sold to.
Questions schools ask
Want the full detail? See everything in the platform.
Which curricula do you carry?
Any. Any publisher's PDF textbook can go on the platform.
What devices does it run on?
Any laptop, tablet or Chromebook with a modern browser. There is nothing to install.
How do students sign in?
With the Google or Microsoft account the school already uses, or with one click from the school's LMS.
Does it work with our LMS?
Yes, through LTI 1.3. Students sign in from the LMS, and teachers add a book page to a course as an activity. It is tested with Moodle.
Can students read offline?
Not yet. Offline reading is planned. The device will keep encrypted page images, never the PDF.
What happens when a student leaves?
A book hire licence goes back to the school. A per-student licence goes back if the student leaves before the year's cut-off date, and stays theirs after it.
Can students print or copy pages?
Printing shows a notice, not the page. A student can copy a short quote only where the school allows it, and every page image carries a code that traces it to a reading session.
Is it accessible?
It is designed to WCAG 2.2 AA, with a text layer for screen readers, read aloud and full keyboard use.
Where is our data stored?
In a data centre in Sydney, Australia.
How much does it cost?
Schools pay per licence. Book a demo and we will price it for your school.
