A digital textbook is a digital book or eBook intended to serve as the text for a class. Digital textbooks may also be known as etextbooks or eTexts. Digital textbooks are a major component of technologybased education reform. They may serve as the texts for a traditional face-to-face class, an online course or degree, or a massive open online course (MOOC).

There are many potential advantages to digital textbooks. They may offer lower costs, make it easier to monitor student progress, and are easier and cheaper to update when needed. Open source eBooks may offer the opportunity to create free, modifiable textbooks for basic subjects, or give individual teachers the opportunity to create eBooks for their own classrooms. They may offer better access to quality texts in the developing world. For this reason, many schools and colleges around the world have made the implementation of digital textbooks a central component of education policy. However, the transition to eBooks is costly, complex and controversial. Students express a strong preference for printed materials in many surveys and across cultures. Many interconnected factors, from device access, to digital literacy, to teaching methods affect the implementation of digital textbooks in the classroom. Issues of overall value, book quality, privacy, and intellectual property have yet to be resolved.
