When Kristin Bratsch couldn’t find the textbook she needed, she decided to try an electronic version, a series of PDF files that she downloaded onto her computer. After completing the course Concepts of Fitness and Wellness, Bratsch, a student at Collin County Community College’s McKinney campus, had mixed feelings about the e-textbook. She said following along in it while watching video lectures was difficult, in contrast to a regular textbook that she could flip through. But she did like how easy it was to locate exact information by using the “find” feature in Adobe Reader. “I wouldn’t be against using [an e-textbook] again,” she said.
