Electronic books a no-go for students


From Nancy Curtis, owner and publisher of High Plains Press:

here is a tidbit I thought was interesting: Northwest Missouri State University had a pilot project last year in which some 200 students were given Sony Readers that contained textbooks for four courses. “NMSU students reported the devices limited their ability to highlight, skip sections and take notes, and 40 percent said they studied less than they would have with hard-copy books, the university noted.” From: Shelf Awareness, July 7, 2009
