Sorting Files I am unsure what is possible when it comes to sorting files (under the "Get this book" box). Preferably, we would want to organize files into three groups: Readable (.pdf, .epub, .mobi, links to websites), Editable (.docx, .doc, .html, .xml, .odt), and Ancillary Resources (which are not accounted for in this wireframe but need to be set apart somehow.) I think the readable and editable files could be organized by file extension, but I don't know how to make it possible to group ancillary resources separately when they could be any file type. Also, some books use .zip files to group editable files or readable files, so how do we make it so zip files are categorized correctly. Or sometimes we link to a book's github page for the editable files.
Read this book This "Read this book" button that appears on the right side of the page only really works for books that have webbooks. If a book does not have a webbook, what is done with this link? Does it change to "Download this book" and trigger a PDF download, or does it disappear?

Describe the solution you'd like Looks like a three column layout.
Describe alternatives you've considered Unsure about what limitations we will run into as design assumptions have not been validated with developers.
Additional context
As a...faculty member I would like...to see more information about a textbook in a compact vertical space So that I can...make quicker decisions about whether or not the book is something I'm interested in.
