I do NOT like e-books. I like to mark my pages to help in studying. Printing is a waste of money and trees! Please give us a choice!

I personally like regular books better than ebooks, I have a difficult quarter in spring and figuring out my ebbok will be a distraction from learning.

I HATE e-books and would much rather have a physical book, especially if it is a book that I will use as a reference book in the future. PLEASE don't take this option away from us by FORCING us to have all e-books!!!

I am personally do not like ebooks. I have used them in the past, but I prefer hardcopies of the books, because I study on my lunch hour at work and I cannot access the web to use the ebook. I think that since we are paying for them, we should be able to decide which books we prefer.

I do not like the ebooks. I can not go back and reference anything unless I spend money to print off the pages that I think I made need for references.

It is my belief that we as students should retain the ability to choose between ebooks and hard copy books. We are paying for the books, therefore the option remains with the students. Electronic reader devices, including iphones, are not owned by every student thus making it impossible for them to keep up with their reading assignments when they are away from home. Most of us are on the go quite a bit. I also do not like to read books, particularly 300+ pages on my computer. This is a formula for disaster and a potential for harming grade status among students. Sincerely, Catherine Nagle

I would like to have the option of a hard book or an ebook. I don't like ebooks. I like to highlight my notes and read where ever I want without having to be on a computer. I spend enough time on the computer for other reasons I don't want my school work to be another. To me this would be a great inconvience.

I do not like e-books. I have chances to read my assignments at work but would not be able to do this if I had to use a computer or kindle. Please give us the option to choose which learning method works best for us.

I am limited on internet and I do not like the fact that I have to go to the internet in order to download my book. I know that it does not take up al lot of time However, it is still time that I need for school.

I do not like Ebooks, for me it is easier to open a book whenever than have to mess with my computer everytime i wanna study and flipping pages is easier than having to do it all on the computer.

It's hard for me to concentrate on a computer screen for a reading assignment. I have ADD and find it much easier to read from a book. I would be very saddened to see hardcovers books diminish. I talk highly of Rasmussen's online courses but I know this change for myself would not be a helpful one.

I don't like the eBooks either!!! I would like the option to pick a text book; not only am I paying for it, but also it's easier for me to read from a text book!! Let us choose whats best for our style of learning. ONCE AGAIN WE ARE PAYING SO WE SHOULD MAKE THE CHOICE!!! Thank you, Ashley Evans.

I have two children who mess around on my computer and the last thing I need is for them to hit a wrong button and then I have no access to the ebooks in order to do my work. I appreciate having the text books. This allows me to not worry about losing any resource and allows me to do my workwhen and where I please.

We as students should be able to choose which version of a book we want. Please keep physical books for all of my courses! I hate eBooks and prefer to have a reference I can physically keep and read away from the computer.
