# iTunes U Passed 1 Billion Textbook Downloads

![](https://bookwi.se/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/overview_hero.jpg)Goodereader.com posted today that [iTunesU](http://www.apple.com/education/itunes-u/) has passed the 1 billion textbooks download since opening in.  iTunes was launched in 2005 as a partnership with Stanford.  The partnership expanded to more schools in 2007 and then this last 2005 year a dedicated app was released.  Now there are more than 1200 colleges and universities and more than 1200 K-12 schools using iTunes U.

That seems to be a pretty big deal.  [More info at goodereader.com](http://goodereader.com/blog/tablet-slates/over-1-billion-etextbooks-downloaded-from-itunes-u/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=over-1-billion-etextbooks-downloaded-from-itunes-u)
