Here are some of the new features:

automatic reformatting for smaller screens (responsive web design)
fewer, longer pages (swiping is easier than navigating pages)
shorter paragraphs (to avoid filling smaller screens with a wall of print)
more links to other pages in the textbook (opened in separate pages)
scholarly references listed on the bottom in APA format (most requested feature)
...and many updates and revisions

I ran spellchecks and linkchecks, and proofread multiple times, but there will still be errors! Please let me know about them by email at psywww@gmail.com .
