ebooks creats major difficulties for most students and i for one have difficulties on some courses and it is just way to much to sit down and click between two or more windows just to get one assignment done.

I believe we should be able to have the hard copy books for as long as we want to keep them around, I know nurses in their careers for 10 years or more who still look back at their books. With ebooks we do not have that option if we so choose, and for the price we are paying, I want to hold something in my hands for it! Just a personal thing...

I, myself, would prefer the actual hard copy of the books. Let's hope this survey becomes successful. Thanks

I do not prefer the ebooks and have turned them down every quarter. I look at computer for 8 hours at and then more in the evening or weekends to do my homework. I prefer to look and hold a regular textbook when I have reading to do. My eyes need a break from looking at a computer screen!! Please give us the option.

I do not like E-books, it is a pain to have the screen open for your E-book then another screen open for classwork and having to flip back.

I don't care for ebooks as a physical book is what I need to be in front of me to read, take quizes, study and be able to highlight what I need in front of me. I don't want to have to carry my computer around to study. So hear my voice and please give us students the physical books that we want.

Personally, anything that has to do with my major, I want the physical book. It makes it easier to bring with me while I wait to get my son from school or wait for an appointment. I do not have a tablet to make e-books efficient.

I find it hard to read on a computer, I would rather carry a book around than a laptop.

I do not like ebooks most of the time. While doing homework there are most classes where you need to refer back and having an ebook makes this very difficult.

I prefer hard copy books over ebooks. They are more convenient and I do not wish to stare at a computer all day.

I learn so much better with a hard copy book, I can make notes or highlight anything I need.

I have a hard time reading on the computer and I cannot highlight important information. It is easier for me to learn from a hard copy.

If we are paying for this education, we shouild be the ones to decide whether or not hard-copy books are provided. Digital books are great, but computer are known to have problems, which would make accessing course work and required readings, impossible until the computer problem is fixed.
