11 Buyer s Guide: What textbook option is best for you? 1. Basic e-book: This is the least expensive textbook version. It is accessed after downloading a free copy of Microsoft s Silverlight platform. Easy to navigate but note it does not include search, highlighting or note-taking. If you desire these functions, we recommend the Premium ebook. And if you want robust printing capabilities, we recommend one of the next two options, as our Basic e-book has very limited printing capability. 2. The Digital Bundle (PDF + Online Book): Available for all textbooks and some (not all) study guides. PDF versions are packaged as chapter downloads. The textbook is available immediately after checkout. Print directly from the opened PDF, or download/save the PDF by clicking on "File", then "Save As" from your toolbar. 3. Hybrid Bundle (Paperback + Online Book): Another two-fer option: bound, black & white paperback versions plus access to the Online Book. Use the online version while your paperback ships, or whenever you want online functionality like search, notes and chat. Details on how to order are provided when you select this option. 4. Mobile: iphone: Study on the go and read your textbook on your Apple i--phone. Affordable app. Note does not include search, highlighting or notetaking.
