Looking for an easy way to manage and distribute content across multiple tablets used by your organization? You might want to check out Amazon’s Whispercast.
The free service lets you centrally manage multiple Kindles, control their settings online, and distribute books and documents to multiple Amazon tablets. You can even send them to other devices with a Kindle app.
If you’ve already purchased a fleet of Kindles for your employees, you can centrally manage them from whispercast.amazon.com. Once you go to this site, you can sign up for a Whispercast administrator account that you can use to purchase and distribute content for multiple tablets.
You can quickly register the multiple Kindles you’ve purchased for your employees from the Whispercast site, giving each employee an individual Amazon.com account he or she can use to make personalized annotations and bookmarks.
You can also use Whispercast to configure multiple features on your Kindles. You can require a password, protecting your information; provide Internet access by sending wireless settings to the tablets or restrict access to the Web, including Twitter and Facebook integration, which would be useful for schools or if you don’t want your employees tweeting when they should be working.
You can even send Kindle books and documents to your employees’ personal Kindles and non-Amazon devices with the free Kindle reading app, including iPhones, iPads, Android-based phones and tablets — even PCs and Macs.
