iPad Might be Replacing Textbooks
Friday, January 29, 2010
Scrollmotion has been working to begin transfering textbooks to be compatible with the new iPad. Publishers that would be considering this transfer include McGraw Hill and Kaplan. This would also include online quizes, video, and other media items that are good resources for users of the textbooks. It is also able to take notes. This idea of switching textbooks to virtual media is a great idea. It helps cut down on the cost of printing textbooks and would send the idea of electronic textbooks soaring. The idea is the problem of reselling useless textbooks. Publishers would most likely not be willing to let students resell the electronic textbook. This can be a problem for many of the poor college students.
