-Another factor influencing learning style is the inclusion of the newly available PAgeburst facility, which allows the reader to download the textbook onto their desktop, iPhone, iPad or ereader and also to keep a virtual copy online that can be accessed with the use of a password from any computer...Downloading the book as an eBook using Pageburst was simple and this package provides an outstanding search option, enabling the reader to gather together a topic from numerous chapters and make notes to the text or highlight the text for furtuer reference.- Midirs, April 2012
