Then again, it’s been 2.5 years. I’d argue that Inkling’s app and vision remain at the forefront for reimagining textbooks and building the technology to support that. Inkling also needed some of the advancements that Web technologies, namely HTML5, have made over the past few years.

Inkling has taken care to think about what the reading experience is like depending on different devices too. But again, we will see if this is a big draw for textbook buyers.

I’m a mom to an amazing, ever-active toddler that deserves all the opportunities and experiences I can possibly provide. I’m a wife to an awesome man that worries himself too much and strives hard to make everyone around him happy. I am me. I’m just like any other person; I am not very special. I am still an introvert. What do I love? I love independence. What ticks me off? Where am I? I live in India. Like this: Like Loading... Einstein « figuring out computer science. Presidential nomination process?
