So, this begsthe question, why are there so few electronic books in use in higher education? In part, this isbecause many of the commercial books are not available electronically. Although some publishersare exploring ways to make their collections available electronically these efforts are still in theirinfancy.However, a larger puzzle is in the step away from paper to purely electronic media. For example,consider the following problems. How do you write notes or slip a page into a fixed PDF file? Isthe document you are viewing on your machine or on the network? Who can
