Pricing
Kotobee Library’s pricing is based on annual subscripons. Each pricing er is differenated by the maximum number of allowed books and users. Users here refers to student accounts that will be used to access the library. In case the library is made public (open access) then the number of users is irrelevant.
Libraries provide great security to ebooks through DRM. It is possible to limit the number of devices that can be used with a single student account. This way you can guarantee that ebook access is not distributed to hundreds of unauthorized users, hence prevenng piracy
An instute's library may be used to collect all subject ebooks into a single interface, and provide convenience for students. Student’s notes, bookmarks, and highlights may be synchronized on the server and retrieved from the library through different devices (web, mobile, or desktop).
Kotobee Cloud is a miniature version of Kotobee Library, allowing control on user access for a single ebook instead of a collecon of ebooks. Ebook apps exported through Kotobee Author may oponally be converted into a cloud ebook, which are always connected to the Kotobee Cloud server. At anyme, cloud ebooks can be made public, opening access to everyone, or private, allowing access only to certain users. Privileged users may access the ebook either using their email / password combinaon or using a promo code provided by the administrator.
Cloud ebooks exported to different devices and plaorms provide the advantage of having the student's annotaons (notes, bookmarks, and highlights) easily retrievable from any device. Cloud ebooks are a great way for remote learning if the number of ebooks is not many.
