Another Pro for eBooks

European School RheinMain1 Comment
Why sometimes eBooks are better… Knowing, that eBooks does not smell like real books, that the feeling to touch an eBook-Reader is not the same as to touch the cover of a nice hardcover book with a linen cover: In some cases, eBooks are the better choice. Here we are with an example: To support our new students (and their parents) from the Ukraine, we were able to buy some new eBooks in Ukrainian language, some in Ukrainian and English – within a day or two. Our students can download them without any cost on a smartphone or tablet, after installing the SoraApp. The SoraApp is to be found at any App Store or to be used as a Desktop App. We also produced an instructional video: How to download an eBook using the SoraApp. For sure, we are on the way to buy some more non-fiction on the history and geography of the Ukraine in English and German language – also as printed versions. All these books are to be found on the main page of our Library Catalogue.

What SYNC Participants Said about the 2020 Program

„Helping me through a rough time—being read to is the highest form of comfort“

„I never thought that I would come to enjoy reading from an audiobook. It’s so cool because I can do other stuff like folding clothes while listening to a book. Thanks, SYNC, for the experience.“

„My favorite part about SYNC is getting and listening to books I wouldn’t have ever chosen for myself. It expands my world view and my reading view, which is excellent.“
