Dorko Demo : SafariX Part 2

After a semester with E-textbooks and using SafariX for my microbiology classes I feel I am now qualified to pass judgment on this format of E-textbooks. I took it upon myself to endure this challenge as I really wanted to see if I could recommend SafariX to other students. Many of my classmates consider me a guru of technology and I am often the first to test out new concepts and tools. My suggestions and recommendations are held in high regard and thus many were eager to know if SafariX could save them a few bucks in the future.

I too wanted to see if I could distance myself from traditional textbooks. Carrying a Tablet PC around wherever I go made E-textbooks a very tempting offer. Unfortunately I think the E-textbook concept still needs some work. SafariX may be a good option for a few but in my opinion most students are going to want to stick with those heavy traditional textbooks. At least for now...

This is the second Dorko Demo featuring SafariX. In Part 2 I discuss many of the features SafariX offers as well as wrap up with a few conclusions and opinions on my experience. If you didn't check out Dorko Demo Part 1 I suggest you take a look at that one first and then come back to view part 2.

A Word of Caution: In both Part 1 and Part 2 of this Dorko Demo featuring SafariX I include many opinions and observations during the semester. These are solely my opinions and may not reflect your actual experience. SafariX offers a very nice tour and you may want to check that out for more information.
