Apple Jumps Into Textbooks
Keywords:
Tags: Information Technology,
About 6% of textbook sales are forecast to be digital in 2012, up from 3% in 2011, according to MBS Direct Digital. The $14.99 price for a digital copy of a textbook for 1 year announced by Apple is designed to increase sales. Apple's Phil Schiller, senior vice president of worldwide marketing, says there are 1.5 million iPads in use at schools and colleges. Future price reductions on the iPad below the current $499 level would make the device more accessible and affordable for students. Apple iBooks are designed to work only on the iPad. Other device manufacturers are Amazon and Barnes & Noble, and Apple is in third place for digital books according to Forrester Research. Over time digital copies digital textbooks will dominate the market. MJB Direct Digital sees 50% of textbooks being digital by 2020.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
