The average college student in America spent about seven hundred dollars on textbooks last year.The National Association of College Stores reported more than five billion dollars in sales of textbooks and course materials.
Association spokesman says electronic textbooks now cover just two to three percent of sales. But he says that is expected to reach ten to fifteen percent by 2017.
Online versions are now available for most popular college textbooks. Etextbooks can cost half the price
of a new print textbook.But students usually lose access after the end of the term.And the books cannot be loaded on more than one device,so they are not easy to share.
So what do students think of etextbooks?Earlier this year Administrators at Missouri State University tested them with five hundred
students in twenty classes. The University provides laptop computers to all seven thousand of its fulltime students.It does not require students to buy their textbooks. They rent them to save money.The school aims to save even more by moving to etextbooks.
The students in the survey reported that downloading the books from the Internet was easy.They liked the idea of carrying lighter backpacks And fiftysix percent said they were better able to find information.
But most found that using etextbooks did not change their study habits.And sixty percent felt they read more when they were reading on paper.In all,almost half the students said they still liked paper textbooks better.
