I personally agree, I pay for the books I want books. I can not concentrate on electronic books, nor do I have internet every where I go.

Having the physical books makes life easier. For us students who work online, we are already tired of staring at a computer screen! our eyes need a break too; physical books do just that. Think of your student's eye health! Staring at a computer screen for classes is bad enough, add in the amount of time needed to read on a computer screen, and you're pretty much telling us we need to go set up an eye exam!

I am not a fan of ebooks . I think that the choice of how you learn should be left up to the student. Besides we are paying for the classes! Maybe it will be an eye opener when Rasmussen realizes that they are not the only store (school) in the mall (Online). No what I mean? By taking away our freedom to learn the way that best fit us... is not civilized. WE ARE THE ONES PAYING FOR OUR EDUCATION AND WE DESERVE THE VOICE.!!!!!!!!

I have always been against e-books because I understand better from the text than to be sitting at a computer reading. I like carring my books with me because I don't have a lot of time to study at home so when I am on the go I carry my books with me.

I dont like ebooks. For me I like it the regular book much better. I can easily read and do my homework with regular book. I can look up what I need to read much faster.

I hate ebooks I don't have the money to go out and buy an ereader to get the value out of the e books and I feel if rasmussen wants us to use e-books they should provide e-readers. I find I retain things better with a regular text book. I know I am studying to be a paralegal and my counselor told me I need to get used to it that's the way it's done, but i can deal with the research on-line for what I need to do. The thing I can't deal with is spending 5 hours just reading an e-book when I can read faster in a regular book. I also have eye problems and other disabilities that make a physical text book a better fit.

I hate ebooks for school! I find it to be hard on my eyes and a bit annoying when trying to snuggle up in bed with my laptop. A book is more convinent.

I enjoy hard cover books and I am able to retain information better than reading on a computer!

I like having a physical book so that when I spend what little time I have with my family I can bring it with me in the car or to the park. Sometmes situations come up where you have to travel during classes. You can not read an online book on an air plane. You can not read it anywhere you do not have internet. PLEASE keep the option open to recive a real book. We are willing to pay for it!

I do not like eBooks because looking at the computer for long periods of time hurts my eyes. I prefer a real book so I can easily trasport it places

Students should have the choice of an ebook or a textbook. Please keep the option available.

After spending an 8 hour workday in front of the computer, I do not want to read a book on a computer screen. I would like to have a physical book that I can mark in and keep and carry with me if I'm going to be somewhere that I can't have my computer at. Plus, we are the ones paying for this so I think it should be our choice what type of book we have!

I feel that we should have the choice as to whether we use an ebook or an actual textbook. Although ebooks are cheaper, I prefer to use actual textbooks. It is much easier to take a textbook with me to multiple places that I might be able to get some reading done.

I feel that since I am paying for the school I should be ble to have the text book forever. With E-books you ony get them for a year. Also I like being able to read anywhere. Also it's nice to be able to rest my eyes from a computer since all of my classes are online.
