VitalSource Bookshelf is defined as an e-textbook platform. It’s an interactive, completely portable application that lets you acquire, download and read e-books with ease.
This powerful application offers three ways of accessing your books: download, online, and mobile.
Despite all the cons, its portability and synchronization capabilities make VitalSource Bookshelf quite appealing. Anyway, until it fixes its many problems, I can’t yet recommend it.
Pros
- Nice synchronization possibilities
- Allows creating, sharing and syncing notes
- You can easily highlight topics
Cons
- The app should contain a browser so that when the users press "Shop", they would be able to browse the store inside the app's interface and not in an external browser
- Supports only VitalBooks - the VBK format
- Lacks basic reading options such as zooming and rotating

This software for macos causes so much input lag on my computer, which is one of the newer macs designed for programming... and my school requires me to use it because they have a partnership with this software to access the text books. you need to do better.
Terrible. Cannot handle basic functions such as highlighting despite advertising these features. The more you use said features, the glitchier the software becomes until is completely unusable.
Terrible app. Consistently freezes and glitches, making it impossible to do any reading or work on it. HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND
