1200 ebooks and hundreds of digital courses are some of the educational resources that can be stored in a single 1KL unit that weighs only about half a pound, and can be used at any time of day with a built-in backlight.
6000 poundsIn comparison, 6000 pounds is the equivalent weight of 1200 paper books (without vocabulary learning and guided reading features), which can also be easily damaged, and cannot be read without another light source.
