Is it more beneficial to purchase the books that are available than using etexts?
I prefer etexts. I can tweak the font size and columns/margins to my own taste and I never feel guilty about writing in them. I staple mine (I bought a heavy-duty stapler at Office Max) so it’s like a book (or Hollywood script?) That way, I can afford to splurge when I find a book that’s not online or that has wonderful illustrations. I don’t mind paying for art, but I don’t like to pay for text if I don’t have to. For someone who is really short on money, online boooks can be read straight off the computer screen. It’s not as cozy as cuddling on the couch with a book, but the ideas translated will have just as much impact.
