Abstract: Electronic books (e-books) have become a fixture in this modern world. The past few years has seen the e-book industry explode with hundreds (literally) of electronic reading devices such as e-readers or e-reader apps. The move to electronic textbooks (e-textbooks) has been slower, but the pace is increasing. Many students, professors, and universities are starting to push the move to e-textbooks. However, there are many issues involved in making this move, not the least is whether students actually want or would use e-textbooks. This study presents and discusses some initial results to a recent survey on student acceptance of e-textbooks as alternatives to "real" paper textbooks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
