Service Proposition

Children who read more do better in life.

It is in every parent’s interests to stimulate a passion for reading among their children and give them the best chances in life. However, parents struggle with the question of what books to get their children and – in many cases - how to do so at an affordable cost?

Also what kind of book will keep offspring glued to the pages?

Launching in late 2025, Reading Pass is a service sold to parents to provide their children with ebooks and audiobooks that are at the right reading level for them.

Reading Pass provides access to over 10,000 ebook and audiobook titles at all reading levels with a recommendation engine that creates personalised suggestions for children based on their interests and reading level. Our inbuilt analytics engine measures how many hours users spend reading per week, what books they finish and what they discuss with their friends.

Using this data, we provide personalised reading lists and recommendations to each user.

There are no adult books on the service and we go to great length to only recommend books that stimulate reading, pushing the reader gently to improve their reading skills. The increase in difficulty is slow in order to avoid content that is too difficult or demanding and out of the grasp of young readers.

A subscription provides a fixed number of reading credits each month that provide access to the chosen book for thirty days. To extend the access period a new credit is required.

Audience

The primary audience are children seven to sixteen.

Licensing Income

Jellybooks pays publishers a predetermined license fee per title that is based on the book being available to the user for thirty days (rental only, no ownership).

Marketing

The service is marketed by Jellybooks directly to parents with children in the relevant age groups and is also cross-promoted via our school offerings.

Technical Integration

The service primarily targets chapter books, middle grade (MG) and young adult (YA) books. As with all content streamed using the Jellybooks Cloud Reader, reflowable ePub, fixed layout (FXL) and audiobooks are natively supported. These are the same formats used by Apple, Spotify and others, meaning you have no additional formatting work.

Please see our DISCOVERY section for how to submit assets to Jellybooks. Publishers who are already DISCOVERY users do not need to resubmit their assets to participate in Book Pass. A dedicated licensing agreement is required to participate in Book Pass.
