I am looking for online high school textbooks for traditional (social
studies..english..etc) and elective high schools courses (fine
arts..photography).  Looking for a list of providers that offer online
high school textbooks in HTML or PDF format.  There should be no
requirement to subscribe to the publisher's learning management
system (e.g., WebCT).  The online content should not be a
"supplement" to a physical textbook.

Hi,

Thanks for your inquiry.  No, I am looking for actual high school
textbooks (not courses) that can be purchased in PDF or HTML format.

johnharris123-ga,

Pearson Prentice Hall has a full series of iTexts that are available
online or on a CD-Rom.  You can find links to them here:


http://www.phschool.com/successnet/preview_it.html
Preview a sample of the interactive online textbook...
The same trusted content as the printed textbook with interactive
activities, videos, audio, and self-assessments to engage all learners


As has been noted below, the ebook offerings for high school textbooks
are quite limited...I think you'll find the Prentice Hall offerings
not only to be of high quality, but quite possibly, the only
broad-based option available for online textbooks at the high school
level.

Enjoy...!  Let me know if there's anything else that you need.

search strategy: Google searches on combinations of:

ebook

etextbook

k-12

"high school"

Just to let you know, most high school textbooks are not available in
pdf or even more copyprotected formats (Microsoft Reader). This is
starting somewhat with college/university texts, but not so much with
high school texts.
