302,179 senior studentrespondents “very often,” “often,” or “sometimes never” utilize their textbook for assignedreading assignments [15]. There are many reasons for lack of usage after purchase. One plausiblemotivating factor in decreased usage is the static nature of many digital textbooks.Historically, traditional textbooks were the main mode of disseminating written information, butnow there are new modes of communication. Students now appear to be open to the idea of a newform of textbook, as well as a new form of delivery. A survey [16] given to sophomore-levelchemical and biological engineering students (n = 627) posed the question: “Many types oftextbooks are available for engineering courses.
