Students and faculty aren’t so sure that they will really be saving money by moving to e-textbooks. Digital texbooks are gaining ground in education, as shown by a study released by the Book Industry Study Group earlier this year: Students’ preference for print text over digital dropped from 72 percent in November 2011 to 60 percent in late 2012. And a recent EDUCAUSE study finds that students and faculty value lower-cost textbooks — though they aren’t sure that the current digital textbook model will drive prices down.
