The digital transformation in education means that digital technology has given rise to significant changes in the field of education. With the rapid development of modern information technology, digital textbooks have become an important component of educational digitization. As a core resource in the field of education, the digital construction of English and American literature textbooks in universities is essential for cultivating students’ digital literacy, improving teaching quality, and constructing a fair educational platform. Based on many shortcomings in current publication, and use of digital textbooks of English and American literature, this paper studies strategies and methods for the construction of digital textbooks from three aspects: technological transformation, resource optimization, and quality control to verify that digital textbooks can be used to improve classroom teaching, reconstruct knowledge mode and educational ecology of English and American literature courses, and enhance teachers’ and students’ digital literacy. The construction of future digital textbooks should highlight the People-oriented concept and create a new platform for cultivating morality and talents, focusing on fundamental issues and construct a comprehensive and systematic theoretical system for digital textbooks, emphasizing technological empowerment and talent cultivation, promoting the innovative development of digital textbooks, improving policies and regulations to ensure the construction and management of digital textbooks.
