Apple has entered the textbook market. The tech giant (輯技巨頭) introduced iBooks textbooks a couple of weeks ago when it announced its iBooks 2 platform. They are digital books in a variety of subjects taking in science,maths,history and geography.

Apple developed its iPad-based textbooks in conjunction (連接 ) with major textbook publishers. The company offers a collection of textbooks for high school students.

Apple says it offers a “new textbook experience” and suggests its iBooks textbooks are “ the next chapter in learning”. It sounds like good news for pupils and students. Think of it. No more carrying heavy backpacks full of textbooks. Every textbook you require can be stored on your iPad. No more having to buy expensive textbooks which you will only use for one year or two and then sell or give away.

Of course there's a catch. You need to own an iPad and as you know,it is not cheap. You also need to buy digital textbooks,mostly priced each at $ 14. 99 (94. 74 yuan) or less. Textbook publishing was worth $ 8. 7 billion in the US alone last year. Will digital books take over conpletely in education? That remains to be seen.
