Seems like an interesting model and platform.
I mean, the digital version is really accompanying the student throughout his/her journey. and if the publisher can not only tap into it, but be part of the ritual of studying. the student will then go back to it.
the publisher can easily upsell extra services (correction, tutoring, exam prep, you name it).

Yes, plus apps so that students can participate in different activities. I personally like the electronic version of books. It is portable and convenient. Specially in the STEM fields. Those books are massive, so carrying them around isn’t an easy task. Also, you can search thing faster with an electronic version. This is good for the new students. Unfortunately, I had to buy the expensive books back when I was studying.
