Jeff Young, Chronicle of Higher Education; Early Finding of Cal State U. E-Textbook Study: Terms Matter:
"Whether or not students liked their digital textbooks depended on what rules publishers set on how the digital books could be used.
“Every publisher has a little bit different terms and conditions,” said Gerard L. Hanley, senior director of academic technology services at California State University’s office of the chancellor. Such rules, including whether a student can print the whole book or only a portion of it, or whether the text can be downloaded to a computer or only accessed online, “really impact the students’ ability to use the content,” he added."
