Dave:
My experience is like yours. I would find it difficult to recommend the
use of these types of e-texts.
Ken
My own experience is that it is difficult and tiring to read text for
extended periods of time from a computer screen. And highlighting,
writing notes, etc. seems to work better when I am working with printed
paper as opposed to a computer screen. I find myself printing out
research articles when I want to really work them over for studying or
editing. Would I be doing the students a favor by encouraging them to
forgo the printed text and work only from an e-text next semester? They
will save some money doing so but will there be a cost in the quality of
their education?
