I'm not sure how recent they are, but our class is being offered PageBurst ebooks from Elsevier as an alternative to our physical textbooks.
They are more than just an ebook like one would think of for the Kindle or from the iBook store. They are also interactive and allow for highlighting text and compiling it into a study guide directly from the device. Also many other things, that's just an example.
These seem like good resources, but I'm just not sure I'm sold.
Have any of you used these PageBurst products? Have any of you who have been accepted into vet school also been offered these as an alternative?
Here's a link to their page with a video in case you'd like to see for yourself how different they are from ebooks!
