Undergraduate students were selected as the subjects of this study,because they are heavy users of textbooks for their course work.Findings: E-textbooks will complement our existing choices rather than substitute printed textbooks. While e-textbooks offer a number of benefits,they also produce many unanticipated challenges. A number of critical hurdles need to be solved before wider acceptance.Research limitations: This study attempts to explore students' reactions to e-textbooks by targeting undergraduate students in California. Future studies can focus on the long-term effects on learning.Practical implications: Considerable attention should be paid to designing features to ensure e-textbooks augment learning rather than detract from it.Originality/value: This paper also looks at the extent to which e-reader users and none e-reader users differ in their preferences for traditional textbooks and e-textbooks.展开更多
