The textbook per se is a popular one, James Stewart's Calculus (7ed.), published by Cengage Learning (2011).

However the outfit that provides the "online" version of the text is CafeScribe. My tutoree uses a Mac laptop, so some of the glitches I've seen may be an artifact of the poor "CafeScribe Reader" implementation for Apple OSX.

I notice that CafeScribe's advertised "digital rental" price is $94.49 (180 day rental), so about half of what I quoted (and roughly half of what the Amazon link above quotes for a new hardback). But I think the community college bookstore plays a role in inflating the price. What I've observed with this particular college bookstore is that the staff will steer students to longer term rentals than what is required for the actual course term. I'm speculating that might explain why my adult student (with a Masters) says the book cost more than $200 to rent.
