ECTACO jetBook Color is a perfect device for reading E-Textbooks and providing students with tools they'll need for learning almost every subject. Textbooks in electronic format are commonly much cheaper than print which will save your school money. Super easy to use, the device comes pre-installed with over 35 different programs (apps) that will help students on their quest for knowledge. The jetBook Color is an open source eBook reader. In other words you are not limited to acquiring content from one location; this helps with further savings.
Why choose a jetBook Color over LCD tablets like iPad?
- Targeted development: The jetBook Color is the only eBook reader/Tablet created with Schools in mind. This is for teachers, students and other educators specifically.
- Apps: The jetBook Color already comes pre-installed with 35 programs (apps) to help students in almost any subject. Tablets like iPad come with almost no apps so you must buy apps for education individually (which is quite costly).
- Books: The jetBook allows freedom of content. Comparing between eBook retailers can save tons on the cost of each book. You are not forced to buy books from anywhere like with the iPad, Kindle and Nook.
- Special screen: the jetBook Color uses the world's first color eInk screen. It will not damage student's eyes. LED devices like the iPad can cause eye damage. This is so important that the Korean government put a halt on one of its projects for tablet integration.
