The digital textbook offers students and faculty an economical alternative to the traditional textbook. Printed textbooks are an expensive investment, editions are quickly out-of-date, and textbooks are cumbersome to travel with. Consider the latest technology advancements with the Kindle and iPad. Whether you a student, faculty member, or enjoy reading, these digital book formats allow for a less expensive alternative that are easy to access from anywhere anytime.
The past decade, the cost of textbooks has significantly increased to double the inflation rate. This increase in price is driving students to seek a more practical alternative to purchasing traditional textbooks. Purchasing the Kindle or iPad is an investment itself; however, many publishers are offering downloadable e-books with a reader that could be used on a PC or Mac computer. The e-book editions can offer readers an even less expensive option to review books electronically on your computer without having to purchase a Kindle or iPad.
As a new term approaches consider the digital textbook alternative, make sure you can access your reader in class, and decide if this option is right for your needs.
