E-Textbooks Saved Many Students Only $1

http://chronicle.com/blogs/wiredcampus/new-study-shows-e-textbooks-saved-many-students-only-1/34793

Key points that I found interesting:

  • Some professors had to give tutorials to their students on how to use the ebook. What a pain.
  • Access to the books was inconsistent in classes due to connection problems. 
  • 2nd to last paragraph - More than half of the survey respondants didn't like the eBooks, but are still willing to try, especially if the price structure were "disruptive." Under $35 was the price quoted.
  • The reader comments are also interesting to read through.
