Ebooks

There is an older ebook thread on here from a few years ago and I decided that since technology changes so quick the old thread isn't really useful anymore.

I'm debating buying ebooks this fall semester. I am always on the computer or my iPhone and would consider myself a tech savy person. I hate lugging around big books and love the idea of having my books with me at all times and can whip it out at any given opportunity.

Anyone have any bad or good experience with ebooks? I know at least one of my books uses pageburst vitalsource bookshelf. The App Store reviews for vitalsource bookshelf aren't that good but I want to know what nursing students think of it since after all no other major is like nursing!

    Going against the flow, I love my ebooks. My program requires ebooks (and laptops) in class, and love only bringing my computer (I have a Macbook Air) and a pen to class; a real backsaver. We use evolve/pageburst and can subscribe to our instructors' highlights. I also love having my books with me ALL of the time for unexpected study sessions.
