A January 2025 study envisions the “textbook of tomorrow”: AI‑enhanced course material where students can query, summarize, or generate quiz questions in real time with their readings. This smart interactivity—sometimes embedded into online course modules—is rapidly shifting expectations for what a “textbook” can offer.
TextbooksVille tracks integration of AI capabilities with e‑book formats. While typical PDF or EPUB files are static, newer smart courseware includes conversational AI features. Though not widely adopted yet, being aware of these developments allows TextbooksVille to guide students toward emerging formats—or explain format limitations clearly when selling standard editions.
