Buyer s Guide: What textbook option is best for you? 1. The Online Textbook: This is our least expensive textbook option. It requires a free copy of Microsoft s Silverlight platform. (If you are a Netflix customer or recently purchased a computer, you probably have an installed version of Silverlight ). The basic version of our online book includes search, highlighting and note taking functionality. If you want printing capabilities, we recommend one of the options below. The online textbook is available immediately after checkout. 2. The Digital Bundle (Printable PDFs + Basic Online Book): Available for all textbooks and some (not all) study guides. The Digital Bundle provides you with two versions of the textbook: The Online Textbook (see above) and a PDF version that s packaged in chapter downloads. The PDF files enable users to study offline when an internet connection isn t available. The Online Textbook is available immediately after checkout.
