## **The first study tool built right into the reader — turn reading into real learning.**

Meet **Flashcards**: your readers can now capture key ideas as study cards straight from the book they're reading, then review them to make knowledge stick. No extra apps, no copy-paste, no leaving the page.

## Why readers will love it

- **Study where they read:** Cards are created from the text itself and anchored to the exact spot in the book.
- **Organized their way:** Group cards by color into themed decks that match how they study.
- **Active recall, built in:** A focused study mode flips each card so they can self-assess and track what still needs another pass.

Perfect for textbooks, exam prep, and any title meant to be learned — not just read. Works across PDF and EPUB.

💡 **Result:** Deeper engagement, longer reading sessions, and a catalog that becomes a true study companion.

## How to turn it on

**Flashcards is self-service and off by default.** Enable it for your store from **Dashboard → Settings → Advanced → "Enable Flashcards"**. Once on, it's available across PDF and EPUB titles for all your readers.
