Partnership makes e-books available to African schools

Snapplify has announced that Penguin Random House UK is making its adult and children's e-book catalogue available for purchase through the Snapplify App.

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.
