SafariX

If the prescribed text for your course is an international edition from Pearson Education, you may want to purchase a digital version of this text online. Currently there are over 300 Pearson International Editions available as digital textbooks, or WebBooks.

SafariX Textbooks Online is an exciting new service for university students looking to save money on required or recommended textbooks for academic courses. By subscribing to "WebBooks" through SafariX Textbooks Online, students can save money off the suggested list price of print textbooks and enjoy the freedom of using a digital textbook.

If you are an instructor and would like an "examination" subscription to a SafariX WebBook, click here to find your local representative and email them to request an examination subscription.

For students, SafariX Textbooks Online is a digital textbook subscription service. WebBooks are functionally equivalent to print textbooks. Essentially, all the content that you may be assigned or tested on in the print textbook is included in the WebBook version. Some photos or other graphics may not be included due to copyright restrictions.

We always want you to be completely satisfied and successful in your university course. SafariX will guarantee your money back in the first two weeks of your subscription if you are not completely satisfied with the WebBook. Read here to obtain more information about the refund policy.

How much will I save? Here is an example of the price savings available with WebBooks:

This popular science book is US$56.50 on SafariX. At an exchange rate of AUS$1 to US75c, this subscription would appear as approximate charge of AUS $75.42 on your credit card. At this exchange rate, it is cheaper than buying the textbook in print as at the time of writing, this text had an RRP of $119.25 (inc. GST). If you would like to use a WebBook, you will save money though SafariX, although the amount of the saving will depend on the exchange rate at the time of your purchase.
