ScrollMotion is signing deals with a variety of educational textbook publishers, to take their titles to Apple's iPad.
That's according to the Wall Street Journal, which names McGraw-Hill, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt K-12, Pearson Education and Kaplan as involved in these deals.
What's more, the article suggests that Apple is firmly focused on the education sector as a key market for the iPad, despite last week's launch concentrating on consumer usage of the device.
The device could also link into the existing iTunes U service for students.
"This is the beginning of handheld education," says ScrollMotion CEO John Lema.
