Orca Digital Subscriptions are a unique, easy and cost-effective way to provide ebooks to an entire class, school or library system. Our digital subscriptions provide access to ebooks for an unlimited number of readers at the same time. Digital subscriptions can be accessed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from school or home. All you need is a computer or device (including smartphones and tablets) and wifi connection.
Each subscription includes unlimited, multi-user access to all books in the collection. Access can be configuring using a single, centralized login, individual accounts for each user, or a custom button on your school/library website that places students directly into the subscription platform (no login necessary).
Pre-Built Digital Subscriptions
Orca offers a number of pre-built digital subscriptions for a wide range of ages and reading levels. To order one of these subscriptions, simply add it to your shopping cart, check out online, and our customer service team will be in touch to set up your access.
Custom Digital Subscriptions
FAQsQ: What's the difference between an ebook and a digital subscription?A: An ebook is downloadable to your device for you to keep forever, but it is a single license for a single reader. A Digital Subscription provides access to ebooks by 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 (PC/MAC) or download ebooks to their own devices—including smartphones. They will need to download Adobe Digital Editions in order to download books for offline reading. We will provide instructions when you sign up. Q: How many books do I get in a digital subscription? A: Starting with a minimum of 12 ebooks, you can get as many of Orca’s ebooks as you want. We have ebooks for all of our print books, which means you have over 800 titles to choose from!
If you have a group of students or a class that will be reading an Orca title, we are pleased to make this title accessible to you in two digital formats (PDF and EPUB) and include a digital class set license that allows you to share an ebook with an entire class.
