Mediocrity Incarnate
There is nothing wrong with this textbook. It covers most of the material you'll encounter in a standard Algebra II class, though not the more advanced stuff if you're in Honors. My problem with this, and so far every e-Textbook I've downloaded, is that they are just copies of traditional, paper, textbooks. This is a new format. Why do I need to flip through a ton of practice problems and jumbled together Headings like "Standardized Test Practice" or "Check Your Understanding"? This is digital. Give me a link to the problems in the margin (Which are huge by the way. Why do we need 2 inches of margin?) and let me move on to the next piece of useful information.
And that is just it. It's not that this text book is bad, it's that it should be so much better. We need rich visuals. Lots of information at our fingertips and lots if interactive animations. I should be able to touch ANYTHING and learn more about it. Not understanding how sine and cosine are related? Tap them and go to the unit circle and watch what happens when you drag around the radius. Not sure what formula to use in your conic sections? Tap one and be taken to a visual aid that incorporates all of the different conics and their different parts. Need more specific information about Ellipses? Tap the ellipse and zoom in for more detail. Pinch and drag the ellipse to see how the minor axis and major axis can swap, and how that affects the equation and eccentricity.
My advice? Don't buy this. Go take a textbook out from the library, or order a used one. This is no better than a paper textbook and not as user friendly. I'm eager to see a company produce a truly innovative electronic textbook, but this is certainly not it.
Terrible
Oftentimes incoherent, relays subject matter poorly. Many of the given answers to practice problems are incorrect. I would suggest using a different book.
Downloading Issue
So I purchased this book about a week ago and it said that I didn't have enough available storage on my iPad to download the app. I went to my setting and deleted a ton of apps from my iPad and now have 4 gigabytes of available storage. The book is only 1.45 gigabytes but for some reason every time I open the iBooks app I get the same message saying that I don't have enough available storage to download the book even though I have more than enough space. I have tried restarting the app and restarting my iPad but neither of those methods worked, so I don't know what else to do in order to fix this issue.
