You sell. You keep the revenue.

Sell one title or a ten-book subscription bundle. For the same licensed user and term, the KITABOO per-user platform fee stays the same. Content conversion is included, with no separate conversion charge for the agreed scope. Platform fees apply. User definition, licence term, conversion scope and any additional services are documented in your proposal. Third-party fees and taxes remain separate.

Interactive textbooks, delivered where schools work.

Three areas to explore in your KITABOO walkthrough.

01

Make every title interactive

Enrich digital textbooks with media, activities and assessments. Give students search, highlights and notes in a branded reader.

02

Fit each district’s systems

Map LMS, single sign-on and rostering requirements. Confirm the supported standards and configuration for each district before rollout.

03

Protect and license every title

Review DRM, reader licences and institutional access in Studio. Test a real school scenario, from allocation to first read.

Cross-platform

Print workbooks, made interactive.

KITABOO helped McGraw Hill turn its print Everyday Mathematics workbooks into interactive digital workbooks, with accurately rendered equations, for classrooms across the US. A published KITABOO customer outcome, not a MagicBox migration case or a forecast.

  • Print workbooks converted to eBooks
  • Interactive exercises
  • Accurate rendering of complex equations

Start with one textbook. Test a real school scenario.

Good questions. Clear answers.

Start here. Bring your specific requirements to the walkthrough.

Is KITABOO a like-for-like replacement for MagicBox?
Not automatically. Courseware authoring, standards alignment, SCORM, xAPI and QTI workflows, and specific LMS or rostering connectors need a capability-by-capability review. Start with your actual titles, courses and district requirements.
How does the commercial offer work?
This publishing offer has a per-user platform fee, 0% KITABOO sales commission and included conversion. For the same licensed user and term, one book or a ten-book bundle carries the same per-user fee. The proposal defines user counting, conversion scope and any additional services. Third-party fees and taxes remain separate.
Can we migrate our existing catalogue?
We will review source files, metadata, user records, licences and integrations. Reading history, annotations and proprietary activities are not assumed to transfer automatically. Agree a pilot and migration scope before launch.
Can you help us avoid overlapping platform bills?
Share your existing contract terms and renewal date privately with our team. We can review migration concessions, billing timing and a phased transition. Any arrangement is agreed individually in the proposal.
Can we talk to a real KITABOO customer?
Ask for a 1:1 conversation with a publisher using KITABOO. Introductions depend on customer availability and consent. No migration from MagicBox is implied.
What do readers experience?
Readers can open titles in a browser without installing an app. Supported apps enable encrypted offline reading, subject to licence validity and revalidation. Explore sign-in, a new device and an expired licence in the demo.
