EBooks Textbooks are digital, downloadable versions of print textbooks. They are a great way to access the same info that's in regular textbooks. EBook Contents - Includes the full text along with all figures and tables.
- Often includes additional content which might be interactive.
Features Varies by textbook, but usually includes many of the following: - Bookmarking
- Highlighting
- Annotating
- Printing pages
- Searching
- Opening from assignment
- Navigating using contents or page number
- Viewing glossary definitions for terms in context
Convenience - eBooks allow you to bring a whole library with you wherever you go.
Requirements - Most eBooks require either the free Flash plugin or the free Adobe Reader.
Cost - eBooks are often cheaper in the long run because there are no printing fees associated with them. In fact, you can often find free eBooks online, whereas physical books almost always cost you something.
Resale - Cannot be transferred or sold.
Lifetime - Usually available only while enrolled in a class using that edition of the textbook; some eBooks can be downloaded and saved indefinitely.
Printed Textbook Contents - Includes the full text along with all figures and tables.
Features - Bookmarking
- Highlighting
- Annotating
Highlighting or annotating a printed textbook might reduce its resale value or prevent you from being able to sell it. Convenience - While most readers have a good battery life, there will still be times where you forget to charge it and then can’t read at all. You’ll never have this problem with a standard book.
Requirements Cost - When new, sometimes includes WebAssign access for one or more terms.
Resale - Can often be sold at end of term for a portion of the purchase price.
Lifetime Even in today's digital age, most of the participants in the study stated that reading printed text is still more comfortable than reading from a screen. But eBook use is certainly on the rise, especially now that libraries have begun checking out eBooks.
