Snapplify enables schools to purchase titles for their students to enhance literacy and promote reading. Even schools in underserviced areas that lack internet can access e-books from their award-winning SnappBox hardware, which uses a school's intranet to distribute e-books to students.

The addition of the UK catalogue follows a partnership between Snapplify and Penguin Random House South Africa, which added its e-book catalogue last year.

Penguin Random House UK will be supplying its full range of fiction and non-fiction e-books in addition to its children's and young adult titles and authors, including the James Patterson Middle School Series, Roald Dahl, Rick Riordan and Jaqueline Wilson.
