Digital Textbooks: Bane Or Boon? at C&ENtral Science

Digital Textbooks: Bane Or Boon? at C&ENtral Science: "Whenever I get a survey or informational flyer from a textbook publisher offering an electronic version of a textbook for a greatly reduced price, I take an informal survey of my students. The informal surveys are basically carried out by going into the lab and asking the students if they would prefer the electronic book. So far the results have always been unanimous. The students are vehement about wanting their dead tree versions of the textbook. I don’t blame them. That’s the version I prefer."
