An Option for
Every Person and
Every Device: The
Printed Text and
Its Electronic Alternatives This paper describes the various electronic alternatives for the two versions of my textbook, An Introduction to Chemistry, Second Edition and An Introduction to Chemistry – Atoms First. I’ll describe the pros and cons of the PDF form, the eBook form (for iPad, iPhone, and Android devices), and the audio book (PowerPoint-like presentations with me reading the text). I will also describe the tools necessary to create electronic books and describe my experiences making them. |
