The story in detail
A Swedish Academic Publisher needed an accessible digital study space for university students, a way to bring diverse content together, and flexible, time-limited access to course materials. KITABOO delivered all three and drove consistent active user growth within a year.

- Note-taking
- Planning
- Assessment features
02. Flexible Access to Diverse Content Formats
