digital textbooks
Screen-based school materials
Digital textbooks are electronic versions of traditional textbooks, accessed on computers, tablets, or e-readers rather than in print.
They often include interactive features—embedded videos, searchable text, hyperlinks, and annotation tools—that static print cannot offer.
Schools and universities increasingly adopt them for lower cost and easier updates: The professor assigned a digital textbook that updated mid-semester.
