Mathematics Multitype Book: Take, for instance, a mathematics textbook. This particular book can be transformed into multiple formats to suit the readers' needs.

Reflowable Layout: The reflowable version of the mathematics book is ideal for those who prefer flexibility in font size, etc. Readers can adjust the text to their liking, making it more accessible and comfortable to read on various devices, from smartphones to e-readers.

Fixed Layout: Conversely, the fixed layout of the mathematics book maintains the precise layout and formatting of the printed version. It is an excellent choice for readers who want to retain the original structure of the textbook, ensuring that diagrams and equations are faithfully reproduced.

Interactive: The third version of this mathematics book is enriched with interactive elements. It includes features such as embedded videos, interactive quizzes, and 3D models. This type engages readers with a dynamic learning experience, making it perfect for students who thrive on multimedia engagement. 

Advanced books let you group many books under one title, making it easy for users to find what they need. Each book format and type can have distinct pricing, rental choices, and specific details. The example is an ePUB book format with various types like interactive, fixed, and reflowable books.

All these variations of the mathematics book are presented side by side on a single store page, allowing users to pick the format that best suits their individual needs and preferences. Whether you are a student looking for flexible studying options, a purist who values the book's original layout, or someone who thrives on interactivity, the multitype mathematics book caters to everyone's distinct learning style.
