New Report Says Digital Textbooks Are Off Track - Jeffrey R. Young, Chronicle of Higher Education

The group, the Student Public Interest Research Groups, a collection of independent statewide organizations representing college students, surveyed 500 students from several campuses for the study. They found that students wanted digital textbooks to be more affordable than print versions, to be printable, and to be free from restrictions on how long they can be viewed.
