How can we assess, weigh, contextualize these claims?
- “Only four percent of the population studied opted to use an e-textbook. The print version is still greatly preferred by college students.”
- “Although the present student cohort is the most technologically savvy to ever enter universities, students do not prefer e-books over textbooks regardless of their gender, computer use or comfort with computers.”
- “Textbook use and reading assigned readings were unrelated to their choice to use an e-book. When available, students chose to use the printed book; however, when the e-book was the only format available, they used it.”
- “Generally, both users and non-users of e-books prefer to use the printed version of textbooks especially if the text is continuously used.”
