Great post, which suggests we should take the ebook route at RUL even more cautiously and with our eyes wide open!
especially points like what happens when the publishers have down time for maintenance, PDA via xused sugguests purchase of e yet the physical item in on the shelf, no resale value for students, or students may have to repurchase a personal copy if they flunk a course.
