Textbooks Coming to iPhones, iPods

Report: Textbooks coming to iPhones, iPods
The Business Journal of the Greater Triad Area

CourseSmart LLC is reportedly going to offer more than 7,000 e-textbooks through Apple Inc.'s iPhones and iPod Touches.

The Wall Street Journal reported Monday that the company will let students add digital notes to their texts and search for specific words and phrases.

Digital textbooks are offered by CourseSmart for about half what it costs to buy the physical books, but they can't be resold at the end of the rental period.

The company is a joint venture of six publishers, including McGraw-Hill Education and Pearson PLC's Pearson Education.

The books being offered on Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) devices aren't available at this time on Amazon.com Inc.'s (NASDAQ:AMZN) Kindle.
