"After much technical support with the next to the last one telling me 24_48 hours before it could be resolved and because of that I missed a deadline. I reached out 2 days later, told the technical support girl the same issue. She was back in a couple minutes, with step by step guidance and I had success. I am very grateful for her help.

"I have been utilizing a vitalsource/Bookshelf for over three and a half years throughout my pursuit of a master's degree, and I am highly appreciative of its benefits. Its exceptional accessibility features make it particularly well-suited for individuals with visual impairments like myself. I truly admire and enjoy using vitalsource/bookshelf due to its consistent reliability and exceptional user experience."
"Having digital books has been convenient and helpful in completing reading assignments in a timely manner while working full-time and in grad school, I listen to content while driving. Listening on the Bookshelf app has been a lifesaver.
Hopefully, they will come out with less digital-sounding voices soon as AI improves."
"This is my first experience using only an ebook for a class and I absolutely LOOOOOVE the audiobook capability. It has indeed been a lifesaver! Being able to highlight sections and create flashcards is also amazing in assisting in studying and learning the material. "
"VitalSource has the best interface of all digital textbooks that I have tried to date. The highlighting is mostly smooth, and you can choose 'fast highlights' where you just highlight as if you had an actual highlighter. You can take notes in the actual textbook without the icon showing the note being particularly in the way or distracting, yet it's still noticeable enough that you know there is a note attached to a particular section. I enjoy that you can adjust the format of the textbook to your specific requirements; it's not too wild, just text size, font, margins, and page colour, but it's enough to make reading easier on whatever device you use. I personally read and highlight through my tablet and then load the text up on my computer afterward to take notes. The sync between devices is basically instantaneous, so long as you don't have one book open on multiple devices (you need to go back to the library and then into the book again to see changes in my experience). Overall, this is the best reading-for-learning app I have ever encountered, and the textbooks are almost a third of the price of physical books most of the time. Keep up the good work VitalSource! I look forward to seeing what innovations you bring to the table in the future."
"I love ordering e-books on here. You guys should send us coupons. As college students, we struggle with school tuition and living expenses. A voucher like 50% off an ebook or 40% off your order would help a l. We, as college students, count every penny."
"The online textbook/workbook is excellent"
