digital textbook

Screen-based course reading

A digital textbook is an electronic version of a textbook, accessed on computers, tablets, or e-readers rather than in print.

Digital textbooks often include interactive features like searchable text, embedded videos, and hyperlinks: The professor required a digital textbook that updated automatically with new research.

They're typically cheaper than print editions but may require internet access or specific software.
