“In a special press conference in New York on Tuesday, Apple marketing chief Phil Schiller announced the free iBooks 2 app, an attempt to unify online databases and the printed word into a single educational tool.
With rich, engaging content and powerful annotation capabilities, digital textbooks will help American students better compete with peers abroad, Schiller said.
Though many teachers have embraced the company’s iPad and thousands of education apps available for it, adoption has been limited in scope, Schiller said. A formal platform to obtain this kind of content will accelerate adoption.”
