A new version of the eReader (used in the Interactive Teaching System and the READ 180 and System 44 eBook Libraries) is now live. The new version will feature an updated interface; however, it will not carry over previously saved notes and highlights. Teachers who have notes and highlights in their eReader books should save them in Word documents prior to the upgrade.
