Willey Plus does not support iPads. Isn't this a selling point Apple should be interested in correcting

Wiley Plus is a ebook site students use to purchase product keys to access books online. Using my iPad2 for the first time this semester I didn't realize the iPad was not supported. Contacted the Wiley Plus support and they confirmed this. I would think Apple would be interested in correcting this issue for students the world over, seeing as this will be the medium students will use in the future for study.


thanks.

iPad 2, iOS 5.0.1

I think apple sees it more as it's on Wiley Plus to contact them and work on making itself compatible with the iPad.


if you want to bring this to Apple's attention the best thing to do is to use the feedback link (located at the 'contact us' on the lower right of this page) and let them know. We're just fellow users here and have no control over anything.

It has nothing to do with textbook sales per se. From what I understand, the Wiley Plus site uses Adobe Flash (uhggg!) to support parts of the materials on their website. The iPad doesn't support Flash, and never will. It will likely be up to Wiley to either make an app for the iPad, or modernize their website to use a Flash alternative. Flash is going the way of the Dodo, so it's only a matter of time before they are forced to choose one of those options.

Yep. I just brought home my brand new iPad 2, and my heart sank when I saw that WileyPlus isn't compatible. It's particularly frustrating because part of my justification for buying the iPad was that it would be useful for school (well, among other more fun things) and a bit more comfortable than reading from a laptop. I would hope this isn't a matter of brand competition, as Wiley is a requirement by my professor, not just some random vendor I picked as an e-reader. Oh well. Wiley does have some apps for iPad, so maybe they're working on a solution.
