All the sessions from Transform 2021 are available on-demand now. Watch now. Chegg’s digital textbook reader is the “nice guy:” comfortable, treats you right, but doesn’t come with many exciting twists. “[E-readers] are built for reading purposes, not studying purposes,” said Brent Tworetzky, product leader for Chegg, in an interview with VentureBeat. “We wanted to create an environment that works where students need it.” Digital textbooks are quickly replacing the traditional, heavy, and cumbersome books of semesters past. This is especially the case as laptops replace notebooks and the sound of clicking becomes expected white noise against the teacher’s voice. Many companies have taken to converting textbooks to PDFs, but that’s it, they’re just PDFs. It’s the same clunky textbook, just now without the weight. Companies such as Kno and Inkling are trying to insert interaction and beauty to the textbook, but need to build a user base and grow textbook offerings. Even Apple seems to be poised to announce its own plan for publishing textbooks. Chegg, however, saw an opportunity to serve its 4.5 million users by creating an HTML5 digital textbook reader, that can work on any device and utilizes both its suite of education tools and the students who use them. Chegg has spent the last year acquiring a number of companies and using them to create a comprehensive collection of education products. The company currently offers textbook rentals — its bread and butter — along with homework help, course reviews, and other products aimed at helping students through their years of higher education. Recently, Chegg acquired design firm 3D3R, whose talents have been used to create the new digital textbook reader. The reader is pretty standard, which may be to Chegg’s benefit. Pages in the textbook look like they would in a textbook, you can highlight text, add notes in the margins, and it will sort your highlights and notes into study guides for you to reference. It also connects you to Chegg’s homework help product, allowing you to ask a question about a certain piece of content, and receive an answer from the Chegg community. It also lets you see the most pertinent areas of text by pre-highlighting what areas of a page the Chegg community is interacting with the most. The reader is free, though the textbooks obviously are not. And because it is built in HTML5, you can access it from iPads, Androids, laptops, library computers, phones, wherever you are. The company calls it an e-reader, which is a bit misleading given that “e-reader” has become synonymous with hardware such as Kindles and Nooks. Really, it is just a cloud-based piece of software. But honestly, it is the lack of frills that may make this reader a success. For instance, Inkling is gorgeous. The company’s iPad app reinvents the textbook, taking it out of its original form and into interactive pages that are as beautiful as they are functional. But sometimes too much of a good thing is too much. Functional is good, but practical is better. Chegg’s reader is more accessible, with more available textbooks. “It’s what HTML5 can do,” explained Chegg’s chief executive officer Dan Rosensweig of the reader’s accessibility. “The key here is that a lot of these readers that you use, you choose one device, that’s it.” Rosensweig says we are “going to see other increasingly trying to follow” in the footsteps of HTML5 reading.

    E-Books: Understanding the Basics June 2009 by Jane Lee, California Digital Library

    E-books: Understanding the Basics June 2009 by Jane Lee, California Digital Library What exactly is an e-book anyway? Before we can talk about ebooks and the issues surrounding them, we must define what an e- book is. This is not as easy as one may think. Although e-books appear in headlines with regular frequency these days, there is still confusion about what exactly an e-book is that makes it difficult to focus on the real issues. For many people, especially in the last few years, an e-book is a handheld device whose main purpose is to look and act like a book. For others, an e-book is a book that one can read on one’s computer. And for a growing number of people, an e-book is something that you can read on your PDA, smartphone, iPod, etc. E-books made their first big splash on the market a decade ago, but they didn’t quite catch on with the general public. PDAs were taking a foothold, and companies began developing software that allowed people to read books on them. Subscription services for e-books – NetLibrary, for example – have been available to library patrons who have access to the required platform. The first dedicated, handheld electronic reading device, the Rocket ebook, made its appearance in 19981, but it wasn’t until the release of the Sony Reader and Amazon’s Kindle that e-book readers seemed commercially viable2. The arguments and questions about e-books – about their past, present, and future – that people formulate are shaped by how they define e-books for themselves.
  • On the Interoperability of Ebook Formats

    On the Interoperability of Ebook Formats

    It is widely seen as a serious problem that European as well as international customers who have bought an ebook from one of the international ebook retailers implicitly subscribe to this retailer as their sole future ebook On the Interoperability supplier, i.e. in effect, they forego buying future ebooks from any other supplier. This is a threat to the qualified European book distribution infrastructure and hence the European book culture, since subscribers to one of these of eBook Formats ebook ecosystems cannot buy future ebooks from privately owned community-located bricks & mortar booksellers engaging in ebook retailing. This view is completely in line with the Digital Agenda of the European Commission calling in Pillar II for “an effective interoperability Prof. Christoph Bläsi between IT products and services to build a truly digital society. Europe must ensure that new IT devices, applications, data repositories and services interact seamlessly anywhere – just like the Internet.” Prof. Franz Rothlauf This report was commissioned from Johannes Gutenberg University Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz – Germany Mainz by the European and International Booksellers Federation.

However, current trends in technology are helping to reach these struggling readers in ways that was previously inaccessible, specifically tablets. This paper shows how tablet technology is being used currently in reading classrooms to address student needs, and discusses whether it is an effective investment for districts. A brief description of the tools that are available is included. Finally, the paper discusses potential risks of using tablets in the classroom. The literature reviewed in this paper includes surveys, reviews, qualitative data and analysis to conclude that tablets have a place in classrooms. However, depending on the students’ needs, it may not be the most appropriate choice. iii 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE PAGE APPROVAL PAGE ........................................................................................................................... i TITLE PAGE ..................................................................................................................................... ii ACKNOWLEDGMENT
