PWA Reader

Enables Offline Access for Seamless Learning

The Publisher faced the challenge of enabling readers to access content offline without the need for additional desktop software. This was crucial for institutions and students who required uninterrupted access to educational materials, even in situations with limited or no internet connectivity.

KITABOO implemented a cutting-edge Progressive Web App (PWA) Reader, a globally adopted technology used by renowned organizations like YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Music. This innovative solution allowed users to download book content directly within their browser and access it offline. The Reader is mostly used by the institutes in order to interact with the class.

JSON Packages

to Optimize Heavy eBook Delivery

The Italian Publisher’s books often contained heavy content, leading to slow performance and degraded user experiences during content rendering and navigation.

To address this challenge, KITABOO introduced a JSON (Java Script Object Notation) Package Structure, converting raw content packages into optimized JSON-based formats. This approach significantly improved overall performance, resulting in a smoother and more responsive reading experience for users, even with heavy book content.

Enabling SmartBoard

Support for Institutional Deployments

The Publishing team required SmartBoard support for the reader to cater to the needs of educational institutions and procurement processes. This functionality was essential for interactive classroom sessions and seamless integration with existing institutional infrastructure.

KITABOO experts implemented dedicated SmartBoard support, optimizing the reader’s performance for Chromium-based browsers commonly used in SmartBoard environments. This solution ensured a seamless and responsive experience during interactive classroom sessions, facilitating a better learning environment for students and educators.
