This article shows how technology is improving education! I personally have e-textbooks for my Master's program and the nice thing I enjoy about e-textbooks is that I can search and find what I am looking for without having to try to look through a 200 page book and find where I highlighted about a topic. I can highlight and write notes in adobe digital education which is what I use to read my e-textbook. You can also highlight and stick notes PDF files via the toolbar task Diigo. No longer do I have to carry around a 20lb textbook. Now I can access my notes and readings from almost anywhere.

Ebooks seem like a great advancement for education. Why spend hundreds of dollars and muscle power on textbooks if the material can be loaded on a portable device? Innovative educational apps and "creative negotiations with ebook publishers" are already underway and making it easier for schools, teachers and students to incorporate eBooks into lesson plans, especially when it comes to higher education. Connecting with "actual" libraries sounds like a smart idea to halt the decline of libraries which is a major concern when discussing eBooks. This article introduces a set of case studies on eBooks in education, which will include experiments and reports from teachers, lecturers and students. The "publication will be available for open access on a CC-BY licence." It will be interesting to see how the eBook will come off and how those results will impact its future in digital education. I expect that eBooks will soon be the preferred method of text sharing in school settings. It simplifies education (and life for that matter). Therefore, it is a "win" in my books!
