Cambridge Spiral experience comparison
Textbooks on Higher Education from Cambridge University Press are available in read-only and full experiences. Both experiences grant access to the full textbook, but there are some key differences.
The read-only experience does not require a personal user account, but as a result you will not be able to take advantage of features such as bookmarking, annotating and printing.
The full experience contains the ability to use these enhanced study tools, but because of the personalisation offered by these features, you will need to be logged in to a personal user account in order to use them. Please log in or register for a user account to access these features.
Due to limitations of our mobile and tablet apps, the read-only experience is currently only available on desktop devices.
The table below displays a comparison between the two experiences.
