  2. What is an iBooks Textbook? • An iBooks Textbook is a version of our core titles redesigned for iPad and enhanced with videos, interactivities, self-quizzes, and a touch-friendly design. • iBooks Textbooks are a Pearson product distributed and sampled through Apple’s iBookstore. • Each iBooks Textbook sold is linked to a student’s Apple account and travels with that student’s account for life. iBooks Textbooks are not transferrable from one student to another or from year to year.
