"One of the really neat features is the ability to actually have a conversation with your classmates or your professor. So if you all have the same textbook open on your iPad and your professor takes a note, all the students will see that note. In the same respect, people can take notes that they share with other classmates," said NY Times product tester Nick Bilton.
The app also lets students buy the section of a textbook they need, instead of spending much more on the whole book.
