Pearson eText for iPads FAQ

What are the differences between Mac/Windows, iPad, and Android versions of an eText? The same eText title can generally be accessed across all three platforms. User personalizations (Notes, highlights, etc.) are generally available no matter what device the student or instructor uses. Pearson eTexts on all three platforms offer similar features but have user interfaces designed specifically for each device. Some minor device-specific differences include:

Chapter Download: The option to download chapters for offline use is available for Android and iPad only.  It is not available on the Mac/Windows client

Study Groups: The ability to share notes with members of a study group using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi technology is available only on the iPad client and is not available on the Android or Mac/Windows clients

Flash Assets: The ability to view rich media content built with Adobe Flash is only available on Mac/Windows. Adobe Flash media is automatically disabled when viewed on the Android or iPad client

Whiteboard Mode: Support for Whiteboard mode is available only on the Mac/Windows client 

Do the iPad eText titles interoperate with the Mac and Windows titles? The eText titles that are accessed on the iPad will be the same titles that a user accesses from the eText server today on their Mac or Windows browser-based client. Your notes, highlights, bookmarks and search history are all stored in our eText online database such that no matter which version you use, they will be both available and synchronized.
