The advantages of e-textbooks seem logical:
- 24/7 and remote access
- enhanced mobility and reduction in physical size
- inbuilt features such as search, dictionary
- enhancement of learning experience via inbuilt multimedia and interactivity
- improved accessibility for students with sight impairment
However, teachers and teacher librarians report challenges including
- the need for digital infrastructure including strong WiFi networks
- the cost of providing/maintaining devices required to deliver digital content
- the time-consuming nature and complexity of management
- the inability to provide textbook hire or resale of texts
