iBook Textbooks for iPad

Apple's new iPad textbooks offer an app-like experience with images, videos and interactive diagrams. Students can dive into an image with interactive captions, rotate a 3D object, or have the answer spring to life in a chapter review. They can highlight text, take notes, search for content, and find definitions in the glossary. And with all their books on a single iPad, students will have no problem carrying them wherever they go.

Apple has worked with textbook publishers McGraw-Hill, Pearson, and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt to produce a small range of books at launch, but it is also offering anyone the ability to create their own directly on the iPad using its free iBooks Author app. Teachers can also use the Author app to create iPad-based courses and message students when they set homework.

The textbooks can be automatically updated by the authors, eliminating the need to buy a new version each year.
