The Pearson eText apps allow students to access digital textbooks on their iPad. The apps require iOS 5.1 or higher and only work on the iPad, not iPhone or iTouch. To use an eText, students download the Pearson eText for Campus app from the iTunes store and log into their course in a mobile browser to access eText links. eText titles can be downloaded for offline access on the iPad. Notes, highlights and other personalizations will sync across devices. While eText features vary slightly between platforms, the content is the same regardless of how students access the material.

3. Pearson eText for iPads FAQ
S 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:
S 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
S 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
S 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
S Whiteboard Mode: Support for Whiteboard mode is available only on the Mac/Windows
client
S 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.
