e-Books Fall 2007

With e-Books, students are able to highlight, underline and do text searches.  Most e-Books never expire and have no printing limitations, however, titles published by Thomson expire 12 months after download and printing is restricted to 100 pages per week.  In addition, publishers protect intellectual property by allowing a single download to a single computer, using an encoding technique that publishers say prevents file sharing.  While students cannot share e-Books, they can make backup copies to prevent data loss in case of computer failure.

The list below shows titles which have an e-Book option, and also prices for the New book, the Used book and the e-Book.

So far, students at CSU have shown little interest in e-Books, preferring a print copy.  When the pilot program was launched last semester, 34 students purchased the e-Book, so e-Books have not caught on at CSU – at least not yet.

If you have any questions about this program, please contact Margaret.Gearhart@ColoState.EDU.
