"I’m glad the App is self explanatory and quick to give you ebook downloads. There was a few things I didn’t like about VitalSource. Ebooks are way over priced and the worst part was renting one. You get a rental ebook, for a high price. The audio voice sounds really bad, and it made it a little hard to focus. It has an odd echo. I decided to get a refund at the end, and bought the hardcover book. "
"It's convenient, the only flaw i find this app has is the fact that i can't zoom in the book to read small print. Not a phone friendly app."
"I love to read books, however, I am in graduate school and may not have the money to purchase the book when my class begins. I love that I can rent the book until I can purchase the book later. Renting also allows me to preview it to determine if I want to purchase the book for reference later. Thank you!"
"I have been teaching as a nursing professor in a mostly online program for over 5 years and VitalSource is a tool I use at least weekly. It helps keep all my course textbooks available in a few clicks. Additionally, I can easily monitor if new editions become available and request a sample and determine if/when we will require it for our courses. I love the faculty sampling feature. I only wish that more students would realize the value of their textbooks. A lot of them are unaware of the extra resources that the publishers include, like quizzing questions or reviews that can help nursing students prepare for certification exams. All in all, VitalSource is great. "
"I have a satisfactory experience "
"Super easy to purchase and download. Love the interactive features. A must do if you need online textbooks."
"Format was great and I am loving the highlight and search functionality, but when I tried to listen to the text read aloud, the voice could not read any umlauts. Really disappointing because I wanted to listen to the text as I walked. "
"Could improve on some of the study and navigation features. And get more titles!! Overall very happy with this. "
"books are always with you. Easy to use and access. "
"Loving it i feel that it Makes easy "
"Enjoy the convenience and reliability of the site and digitally storing my library. "
"Great searching capabilities"
"Very easy to rent etextbooks and access them instantly, even from outside of the US. "
"Literally, everything is read to you. The text, the imagery, and the illustration. You are better than Amazon's Kindle reader. Talk about another market to consider. ;-)"
"I bought two books, sociology and forensic psychology. The sociology book was great, it just had quite a bit of errors in it, especially in the self-assessment quizzes. The forensic psychology book doesn't have much in the way of interactive material so far (I'm on chapter 5). I do appreciate the search function and it helped me a great deal on open book tests. I also like that my books are available on various devices. I read it mostly on my phone but also on my laptop and desktop. "
