I know I am super late to this discussion however being a teacher I think I might be able to help. Many of textbooks that are used in public education do have an electronic edition from my experience they are generally pdf's. You can check with your teacher if they have a copy to give you or if there is an online version which happen quite often as well. The only thing to be careful of is the fact that sometimes these electronic versions are teacher editions so they may not want to pass them along. I have all of mine on my edge and use the pdf markup tool to help me plan.
