The new student needs new study tools

There is a new kind of student in the world. This "new student" knows how to use technology; she is not a slave to it. And books in the VitalBook^TM format represent one of the most important technologies the new student uses.

books in the VitalBook^TM format take advantage of an Internet connection when it is available, but are completely portable when it is not...or when you choose not to be online. If you don't want all those online distractions when you study, or if you just want to enjoy a beautiful afternoon without being stuck in some dusty computer lab or library, books in the VitalBook^TM format are the digital textbook option you want.

So much more than just a picture of a book

Unlike the other "e-book" formats that offer little more than pictures of pages—pictures you usually can't even print or copy from—books in the VitalBook^TM format are searchable, interactive, integrated, and complete versions of the actual textbooks required for your classes.

So, you can trust the content and—because you are part of a new generation of learners—you know how to use the tools that come built in to every Vitalbook. These are tools that:

help you study,
help you collaborate,
help you get your work done faster, and
often save you a lot of money.
