eBooks
At Novare Science, we prefer physical books over e-books. A tangible book engages the mind of a learner more deeply and it doesn’t lend itself to easy distraction by the internet so close by.
However, we understand that there are times when an e-book is suitable for a particular situation, and therefore we publish e-book versions of our textbooks.
Our e-books are hosted by EdTech Software at ShelfIt.com.
EdTech Reader works with PC, Mac, Android, and iPhone platforms. Chromebook users access books through the web interface.
