NEW - Straighterline offering e-books
#4
Straighterline says you can use the ebook on any device BUT it has to be the SAME device you take the test on. Not sure if it would be practical or convenient to take the test on an iPad.

Unfortunately I live overseas and the cost of buying and shipping books costs more than the ebook.

I used the ebook for the SL Business Communications class and there are some pros and cons. Pro is that the search function works really well, making it easy to find things and cross reference them. The major con (besides the price) is the ebook interface is very clunky and you can't make the the type or screen larger. The ebook is not a downloadable PDF, you have to use the clunky interface.

Having said that I was still able to pass 9 of the Bus Com 20 question topic quizzes in 2-3 hours just by using the search function without any studying or even reading the book.
