Eugenia Etkina just came out with a new book. I don't know the level, but she's good. I'd consider having a look at that. She will be at the AAPT meeting. I'll grab a copy and let you know as well.

Subject: [Phys-L] Kinetic Books?
Has anyone on this list used the interactive digital textbooks by kinetic books?
I am looking for a solid text for a calculus-based, three-semester sequence for a "physics for scientists and engineers" course, which uses a just-in-time and other PER-inspired methods fairly heavily.
For reference, I've been using Knight and Mastering Physics for the past several years. I am strongly considering making a switch to kinetic, and possibly Sapling as an online homework system, and relying even more heavily on pre-class reading than I have in the past so I can spend much more class time doing peer instruction, interactive demos, and such.
(FWIW, on the heels of the recent discussion concerning the utility of textbooks, I would like to separate this question from commentary concerning whether we should be using textbooks at all, or other polemics that are not directly material to my actual question.)
