As we make our plans for next semester, we’re faced with a slew of new things to consider: which classes to take, which habits to break and whether or not e-books are superior to hardcopy textbooks. If you look at the list of required textbooks for your spring schedule on MyUMD, you can find these electronic books listed under the course must-haves. Obviously, makers of e-books have become tuned in to the needs of college students. We can get the same information as we would from our regular books via digital graphics behind a panel. Which of these e-books will be the most practical choice to carry around? Will they be as effective as hard copies?
