Apps and Kindle eReaders work together as well and one user can have multiple devices across which content will sync

  6. Kindle eBooks – Moving ahead • Process for securing Kindle eBooks • School shares list of titles for the class / year and Kindle shares availability of those eBooks • Price & quantity of each eBook is finalized and school gives PO to Kindle partner • Partner helps to execute access through purchase codes for each student (it can be done on the first day of session start or even a few weeks before, can be done on one day or spread across a week - basis schools’ needs) • Kindle team provides ongoing technical support for any issues faced. We also recommend teachers going through the experience first and getting acquainted / sharing any issues they foresee before students being given eBooks • Kindle team will do an orientation session for students / teachers / parents to help get acquainted with Kindle faster

  7. Reading experience of Kindle eBooks • Built-in dictionary (Oxford) : easy for children to understand words immediately and without having to look anywhere else • Wikipedia & Google lookup : Select words and look them up directly on Wikipedia / Google with just one-click • Search inside the book : find words, phrases or chapters you are looking for in an instant, no need to keep flipping • Notes & Highlights : Highlight in different colors to mark important text. Notes appear on respective pages as well as consolidated at the end (for help in book revision)
