On a balmy evening on February 4, Beryl Oywer a former colleague at the Star, contacted me via WhatsApp to try a new reading app, Nabu.org. In the message, Oywer, who is now Kenya’s programme manager for Nabu, said the app is readily available and free. The cheapest textbook may cost Sh100, the same amount of money that can buy data to access hundreds of books on the app,” Oywer explained in a follow-up interview. I read the book with my six-year-old daughter, a Playing Partner One (PP1) student, as the story and the illustrations are easy to read. Nabu.org is a free reading app developed in New York, USA, which allows readers to browse, borrow and read hundreds of e-books on their mobile gadgets.
