FAQs
Q: What's the difference between an ebook and a digital subscription?
A: An ebook includes a single license for a single reader. The license holder maintains perpetual access to the ebook as long as the format is supported. A digital subscription provides access to ebooks for an unlimited number of readers for a specific amount of time (1 or 5 years).
Q: How do students access the ebooks as part of the subscription?
A: Students can read online using the Orca Digital Web Reader or through the Orca Digital App. The app can be installed on their devices for online or offline reading.
Q: Can I build a custom collection?
A: Yes, you can! We can create a digital subscription for a single book or an entire line or series. Please get in touch with digital@orcabook.com for pricing and to discuss your school's or library's needs.
Q: Do digital subscriptions include audio?
A: Orca's digital subscriptions do not include audiobooks and are not narrated. Most screen readers will be able to read the text, but the Orca Digital Web Reader and Orca Digital App do not include a read-aloud function.
