Are you nostalgic for your dusty old
high school finite textbook? You know, the one about twenty of your
predecessors drooled on when they fell asleep trying to use it as a
pillow? No? Then you may appreciate Mat MacInnis's zeal for bringing
textbooks to life. MacInnis's San Francisco-based company, Inkling,
founded in 2009, currently offers 150 digital textbooks for use on
the Ipad. One of his leading supporting publishers is McGraw-Hill, a
name which ought to conjure warm fuzzy memories in the vein of
locker-clad hallways and rat dissections.

Novels don't serve the same function as
textbooks. E-ink technology is wonderful for novels because it allows
comfortable reading over long periods, along with portability, with
little to no loss of the experience of reading a hard copy version.
Textbooks, however, aren't meant to be snuggled up with on a rainy
day for hours of entertainment (we're not passing judgment on you if
you do this...we're just pointing out that this isn't their primary
function). Textbooks are educational tools and are typically used for
brief periods of time. And to that end, a digital textbook is a great
idea. The digital textbook won't land you in physio therapy three
times a week, thereby racking up your health insurance bills. And
with its colourful display, it has a very attractive design, which
will likely engage students better in their own learning.
Additionally, e-textbooks often come with multimedia, quizzes, and
the ability to take advantage of social networking for exchanging
notes. If you're not sold yet, though, perhaps this will do the
trick: for as little as $2.99, you can purchase a single chapter,
rather than an entire book. All of this is not to say that owning a
tablet is a necessity. Rather, the point is to highlight that if you
already have one, it may be worth investigating for parents and
students alike.
