Great idea, narration could be much better

"I love the fact that I can listen to required textbooks while I go about my daily business like showering, getting ready for work, doing chores, which helps me keep up with classwork. But I wish real people could narrate vs AI because sometimes the AI reader doesn't follow correctly and that is sometimes so distracting that I can't learn anything from it."

Good for Purchases, Not for Support

"I have been using VitalSource since May 2023 for academic purposes. Everything went smoothly until recently when I bought two books that I needed to claim on another website. The guide provided by VitalSource on how to claim your book didn't work. When I reached out for help, the person who took my case immediately told me they couldn't assist and that I should reach out to the third party. This response frustrated me because I purchased the books through VitalSource, and I believed they should have been the ones to help me. I reached out to the third party, and they guided me through the correct steps to claim my books. I will say the service is good until you encounter an issue."

I will say the read aloud feature is beast-mode.

"Literally, everything is read to you. The text, the imagery, and the illustration. You are better than Amazon's Kindle reader. Talk about another market to consider. ;-)"

Proofread please

"I bought two books, sociology and forensic psychology. The sociology book was great, it just had quite a bit of errors in it, especially in the self-assessment quizzes. The forensic psychology book doesn't have much in the way of interactive material so far (I'm on chapter 5). I do appreciate the search function and it helped me a great deal on open book tests. I also like that my books are available on various devices. I read it mostly on my phone but also on my laptop and desktop. "

Paid for book and can’t access it

"I paid $47 for my book to find out it just gives me a code to access it through Pearson which is a 30 character code then gives you a link to their main page that has no where to enter the code. **UPDATE** The reply I get is thanks for the information we will pass it on. No help in any way. I'm stuck having paid for this book for my class and still can't access it."
