“I like all my books hard copy because I just like to hold the book in my hands. Holding the book in my hand will definitely make me want to read it more, especially with textbooks. With a hard copy book, it’s easy for me to document where I leave off unlike e-books which make it harder to do so. E-books are easy to forget about since they’re online and not physically in front of me.”
– Edward Almeida, freshman biology major
“I’m not a fan of e-books that much because sitting in front of the computer or iPad hurts my eyes after a while. Though e-books are very convenient in terms of finding information, having hard copy books are more nostalgic and helps me focus more. I’m old fashioned and I like being able to actually flip the pages of a book. Hard copy books are my book of choice.”
– Stephanie Borbon, junior marketing major
“
I prefer e-books. I don’t like how expensive hard copy books are. They are double or sometimes triple the price than that of an e-book. E-books are way more convenient, less bulky and I can access them from my phone and laptop.”
– Sabin Edwards, sophomore biology major
“I love e-books because they’re accessible and sustainable. I don’t have to go out anywhere and buy them which is a good thing. Being able to access an e-book and have it right in front of me at any time is very convenient.”
– Sydney Lemon, senior marketing major
“I prefer hard copy books because it is easier to access due to having the book in your possession. E-books have a time limit and a hard copy book does not. I like that I am able to resell a hard copy book once I no longer need it, and resale is not an option with e-books. Everyone should have the ability to buy and sell books as we please rather than having limitations on how long we can hold the item.”
– Tomas Meneses, senior finance major
