1. THE 6 TECHNOLOGIES

2. Electronic Books … Time to Adoption: One Year or Less 2

5. The book works really well  The book is the ultimate “reader”  Inexpensive – You get free reader hardware with each physical book purchased  No batteries needed  Very durable  So simple, a 2-year old could use it  No other user interacts with the physical content more than students  Highlighting  Note taking  Bookmarking  Flipping  Multiple books a once

7. Reasons for Purchasing eBooks  14% of students have purchased a digital product as part of their studies  Price is the primary factor  Only way to obtain the textbook [out of stock, preference by the professor, custom PDF type eBook that the professor created for sale].  18% of students who purchased an eBook did so because they enjoy the features  10% of students who purchased an eBook did so because they had never used one and were curious

8. Improved Performance or Efficiency  Being able to search for a particular word or phrase in the textbook has improved my efficiency in studying.  I use my laptop extensively and take notes on it, so having a copy of the book on my laptop at all times helped me work on my class work whenever I want without having to worry about whether or not I have the book with me.  No 10-lb book to carry around = epic win. Top 5 Current Features, as rated by students: 1. Reading Controls (paging, zoom…) 2. Finding terms in a book 3. Creating Highlights and Annotations 4. Reviewing previously created Highlight and Annotations 5. Managing your Digital Library

9. Features Students Want  Search within and across content  Annotation/highlight and sharing of notes  Downloaded texts over online access - Flexibility of where and when they can access their books.  Integration with other course content including lecture notes, professor guidance…

11. Digital Rights Management  DRM is a necessary part of a full featured e-reading solution  Major education publishers require a proven system of DRM  Due to content’s high price and students shared interest, higher education content is under greater risk of piracy  Components of DRM  Content distribution limitations  Print limitations  Copy/Paste limitations

12. Overall Research Conclusions  Given the opportunity, students are willing to experiment with reading and studying digitally.  When students do read and study digitally, results indicate that they find it as effective or more effective than studying with the physical book.  When students do read and study digitally, their responses to usability of features shows that their expectations are high.  Expect basic features to be as good as print experience (e.g., notes and annotations.)  Also, expect that there are compelling features that go beyond what is feasible in the physical book experience (e.g., tags across notes, organizational capabilities.)

13. Conclusions  E-Reading in higher education is more about e- studying than e-reading.  Evaluate solutions on the entire ecosystem  Hardware, e-Reading/Study Software  Available Content  Tablets and portable devices are currently satellites to a PC/Mac base. May change over time.  Constantly poll your students and faculty.  Don’t over commit--this is going to be a longer transition than other digital media.

14. Future Trends  As portable and tablet capabilities improve, so will their ability to support e-textbook content/platforms.  Content trends  There will be a blurring of lines between e- readers, LMS, and internet resources.
