Anybody using this software to view the materials at work/on the road ?
I’ve downloaded all the material but the books can’t be opened with Adobe Acrobat, they MUST be opened with the crappy program by Vital Source. Has anyone figured out a way arround this? or a way to zoom in with the Vital Source program?
I love having the books in PDF, but not being able to zoom in makes them useless
 
I use the website. love it. the software sucks because it doesnt sync and too bulky. online doesnt zoom either, sometimes text too small sometimes too big
 
Does anybody know how to extract the materials from Vital Source to PDF, thus allowing you to zoom?
 
If you have PDF writer, you just print from Vital Source to PDF. Not sure if there are any copyright issues with doing this though….
 
Hi Matt, they have Vitalsource Bookshelf for iphone/ipod touch/ipad now. You can zoom to view as well as view the highlights/notes you have made on PC/Mac’s vitalsource Bookshelf or Internet’s bookshelf. But you cannot add/edit highlights/notes on your mobile device.
 
Right. Initially I wanted to get Iphone 4 just for this purpose. But I guess the most important is just to print the EOC questions on PDF and we can do it on all phones. The BAII plus for Iphone do comes in handy though.
 
OK, i downloaded the Vitalsource Bookshelf on my iphone, but am unable to download the books. It keeps on failing. You will get an error if you try to download on 3g and on wifi, it just fails after a while.
Anyone tried this?
 
Vitalsource sucks donkey balls.
We should have gotten more money off. You can barely read it.
 
I can barely stand this on my 27 inch screen…how can you use it on a phone?
 
Haven’t been able to see it on the phone yet, although I don’t see such an issue with the quality on my 15” laptop.

Hi, you need to “add” it using iTunes. see bottom right picture http://www.vitalsource.com/iphone

it’s actually pretty crisp and clear on the iphone 4’s retina display ;) No problems reading it at all.
