Digital Textbooks, Online Learning Increasingly Popular - MAXINE PARK, ABC News

Increasing numbers of students across the country are now turning to online textbooks. "Books are getting bigger and costs are going up," said Dale Baker, an education professor at Arizona State University. "Technology is so wonderful and you can post everything online and take readings from a variety of different sources. Often times there are things in textbooks that have nothing to do with the course, so it can be really wasteful."
