Are eBooks right for my school?

With the rise of eBooks and interactive textbooks, schools are making changes in the way they teach students. MySchoolBookstore.com can be your school's partner in the digital transition. We can help you research whether or not eBooks are right for your school, making sure you consider important factors like eBook availability, hardware, platform flexibility, and your networking needs.

How do I know which books are available in eBook format?

Unfortunately, not all textbooks your school currently uses may be available digitally. The availability, price, and format of eBooks varies greatly by publisher. The MySchoolBookstore.com team can help you figure out which books you want to use are available digitally, how much they are going to cost, and the best method of delivering them to your students.

What kind of hardware will my school need in order to implement eBooks?

You will need to decide if your school is going to provide or require a particular hardware device on which students can access their eBooks. From laptops to tablets, schools are using a variety of hardware successfully. At MySchoolBookstore.com, we don't advocate for your school to use one device over another. We'll work to make sure your students have the ebooks they need regardless of what hardware choice you make.

What is the standard format for eBooks?

Currently, there isn't a standard format in which all eBooks and digital textbooks are delivered. We have partnered with different digital book providers so that we can have a wide selection of digital books on MySchoolBookstore.com. Additionally, we have developed our own innovative eReader platform, Digital Cerebrum. Digital Cerebrum is the ideal solution for MySchoolBookstore.com schools that are making the transition to eBooks. To find out more, visit www.digitalcerebrum.com.

What sort of network issues will my school face when it comes to eBooks?

You will need to make sure that your school has a strong network to handle the transition to eBooks. Digital Cerebrum is designed to be very network-friendly, so it won't use up your bandwidth and slow your network down. Not every platform is like that, however. The MySchoolBookstore.com team can help you better identify the network needs of your school.
