I find it interesting educational institutions continue to discourage the use of etexts given that this is such an economical means of education for many struggling famililes; nad that e-enabled learning is the wave that is already upon us leading to the future of being released from cutting down trees!
I wonder if educational institutions are themselves embroiled in a struggle to maintain cost-effectiveness of i.e. their own bookstores, which could explain some of the attitude against etexts. Then again on the flip side, there are many former students and even current non-students that I know who are doing online courses and they comment that it is much more difficult to have a remote e-enabled experience (including textbook reading) than to be in a live classroom with person-to-person auditory and sensory impact.
