Is tablet a good option for e-textbooks?

If you are searching for tablets for e-textbooks, it will require a little bit of research on your part. This research is very necessary because there are many tablets which are not at all compatible for the e-text book format. E-Text books are designed
for Personal Computers and normally they are not meant for tablet’s interface. Barnes & Noble, also only offers textbooks for computers and not on any of the Nook devices or Nook apps.

The reason why textbooks are not supported on the Nook or on the Nook app for iOS or Android devices is that there is a much stronger hardware required to support graphics and content found in a big textbook.

However, there are some tablet/e-reader platforms, for example, Amazon Kindle, which do offer some e-textbooks, but then again there are many reported cases which complain about the text formatting. While others complained about the way, diagrams were displayed.
This is not all. There are many e-textbook that are not even available on that tablet at all.

Therefore, it is highly recommended that whenever anyone who is planning on buying tablets specifically for e-textbooks reading should carry out a detailed research. This research will help them make the most suitable pick to serve their purpose fully.

Otherwise, it is not at all recommendable to buy the device solely for this purpose because e-textbooks are ideally viewed on PC.
