As you can tell from my original post I am interested in that as well. I know that with the book I am currently using the e-book and the "enhanced" web site can be purchased for about $25. I actually tried reading a chapter from the book in e-book form...and at least for that one chapter chunk of material I found it more enjoyable than reading from the book. I suggest to my students who have both the book and e-book...that one of their readings of a chapter be from the e -book...on the computer. I don't know yet how many are doing that. My daughter who is a sophomore in high school wishes that her books were in e-book form.....they won't be so heavy she says! Mark Eastman Psychology Diablo Valley College Pleasant Hill, CA 94523

A related question I'm very interested in is how E-books work for those of you who have tried such.
