Hope the platform last forever

"Great readability and note tools. Still, buying an ebook concerns me that it may disappear once the platform closes."

Easy to use

"I love having a library at my fingertips wherever I go. I just wish there was a broader selection of books (maybe partner with Guilford Press?) and book discounts available. That would increase my use substantially. "

Wishing the audio was more natural

"Love the ability to.have the book being read to me but the voices are off putting. Also some books don't have page numbers which make it very difficult to properly cite to avoid plagarisim "

I'm satisfied with my merchandise.

"I was surprised, when I discovered vital source, because I really had not heard about vital source. The quality of the e-book was great and the price was too."

/Resolving issues

"It

took too long to resolve an issue. I found out that I has multiple accounts based on my status. I didn't feel that I was working with human beings. I also have a hard time agents identifying themsel ves with first names only and last name as an initial. Not user friendly.

No page numbers

"A major issue has been following along by page numbers. If a professor is asking us to work on page 250-255 or look at the matrix on page 245, it is not possible. I have had to use the search bar using context as my one saving grace. The other major issues include how diagrams are viewed and how difficult it is to use the digital workbook.

Highlighting and note taking is easy. The many options to change the viewing option is nice.

Great books, need better disclosures

"I enjoy the flexibility of their online text books for someone who needs to travel a lot, but they need to have better disclosures on which vital source texts come with extra content. I enjoy having the online practice tests but it's difficult to know which books actually come with the materials until after buying them. Half of the time I've had to buy an extra physical copy of the book to access the online resources. Other than that, I've really enjoyed their books. "
