In college, I always found myself wishing that textbooks were online so I could search for answers.
I also wished that online textbooks were organized hierarchically with buttons for expanding and collapsing content. For instance, I would like a chapter to be broken into main points, which could be expanded to show sub points, which could be expanded to show examples or stories or statistics.
It would be so much easier to learn from a textbook if I knew which topics I could skip (collapse) and which topics I should thoroughly study (expand).

I don’t think topics are collapsable yet, but they will be.
I have a friend who has started a company called: http://www.Fourteen40.com you should check it out if you dont already know about it. If you already knew about it then you conned me into thinking you didnt.
