of school books that can be read on a
computer or e-book reader.
Many of them include additional
features, such as videos and/or
pronunciation tools for students.
4. Students are able to load all of their
books onto their computer or tablet.
Electronic textbooks are more affordable
than books that are only available in
print.
E-books make it easy to search a specific
word or topic throughout the entire

than traditional textbooks.
Students can purchase a black and

9. This chart shows that while electronic
textbooks are cheaper, many students are
not taking full advantage of all that they
have to offer.
This could be due to the fact that e-books
are still relatively new and students are not
as familiar with this technology.

and/or study guides through an
electronic book.
It seems as though many teachers
and students prefer an eclectic
approach when it comes to truly
benefiting from their education.
