Many folks, Oprah being one of them are talking about ebook readers these days. With the launch of this school year ebook texts are becoming household names. We all know of the interesting features of Amazons hottest etextbook [http://buyetextbooks.com/] reader the Kindle DX.

But the DX was particularly designed to put a dent in the etextbook market. The screen of the DX is perfect for reading etextbooks. It also automatically adjusts from portrait to landscape for browsing charts and graphs, and has support for native PDF files.

Six colleges will be participating in a pilot program of the DX etextbook reader this autumn. Fifty students at each school will be assigned a DX pilot unit and asked for feedback and advice.. Also the selection of Kindle e textbooks is quite large, and I'm sure the pilot program pupils, won't be the only ones using the Kindle DX on university.

There are other etextbook readers on the horizon. The number of etextbook stores on the Internet is increasing at a speedy pace.. One of the sizable ones is iChapters. They offer a unique spin. You can choose single chapters with iChapters so you won't have to download the entire text. Frequently times so many chapters go wasted.

They had a new promotional competition where lucky pupils could win free textbooks just for signing up. The e textbook is not going away. Don't forget about CourseSmart. Their service is unique as it offers a subscription service. So, you don't in reality own the volume but you can download it anytime. Even during the first day of class.

One of the oldest and established Online world textbook shops is eCampus and they are all over the latest digital text segment. Their website is intuitive and easy to navigate..

Public schools have no plans of being missing out. Arnold Schwarzenegger announced the digital textbook initiative in California this last June. This initiative will put into practice digital textbooks for arithmetic and science at a Southern California High Campus and then it will stage out to other campuses.

This should realize a savings of millions per year. Soon other States will want to save in educational costs as well. Digital texts makes updating straightforward and inexpensive. This autumn is the beginning of a new era in digital text soon they will be a household thing in schools across the land.
