Apple has entered the textbook market. The technology giant(巨头) introduced iBooks textbooks in early February, 2012.

iBooks textbooks are digital books in different subjects, including science , maths, history and geography. The company offers a collection of textbooks to high school students. It offers a “new textbook experience” and suggests its iBooks textbooks are “the next chapter(章节) in learning”.

It sounds like good news for students. Think of it. No more carrying heavy school bags full of textbooks. Every textbook you need can be stored on your iPad. No more having to buy expensive textbooks which you will only use for a year or two and then sell or give away.

Of course there’s a hidden difficulty. You need to own an iPad and as you know, it is not cheap.You also need to buy digital- textbooks, most priced each at $ 14.99 ( 94.74 yuan) or less.

You can play videos, work out geometrical(几何的) problems in 3D，listen to music and make notes. You can share your learning materials on networking sites with other students. Instead of boring textbooks which are quickly out of date, you can have an interactive(互动的) learning experience.

Will Apple revolutionize(变革) learning? Let’s wait and see.

Tributes(赞美之辞) have been made by technology company bosses and world leaders, with US President Barack Obama saying the world had "lost a visionary（有远见卓识的人）".

Flags are being flown at half mast outside the Apple headquarters（总部） in Cupertino, California, while fans of the company have left tributes outside Apple shops around the world.
The heads of other leading technology companies have also paid tribute, including Microsoft boss Bill Gates, who said "For those of us lucky enough to get to work with him, it's been a great honour. I will miss Steve very much."
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg thanks Mr Jobs for "showing that what you build can change the world" while Sony Corp president and CEO Howard Stringer said: "The digital age has lost its leading light."
