It’s time to move textbooks to e-books - Trevor Oliver, Aleste

For decades, students have been hauling heavy books to college courses in hopes of actually using them in class that day. Now, with the luxury of e-books, students can finally have freedom from backaches. The prices of e-book textbooks have also dropped significantly. According to a 2018 study by VitalSource, a popular e-book textbook distributor, average prices of e-book textbooks dropped by 31 percent compared to 2016, reducing the price to an average of $38.65 per book. http://www.alestlelive.com/opinion/article_3922f93c-6c76-11e9-b619-03f1deb502f4.html
