(First I’m supposed to list the problems, then write paragraphs for each)
- Textbooks are take up a lot of space
- Taking notes is not very convenient with a textbook
- Textbooks are hard to navigate
Textbooks are really bulky and often heavy. It is not easy to have to carry around twenty pounds of books, when, in reality, you could just have a really light Macbook Air or other small laptop, which would be able to have all of your books on it, and even do other things that you might want it to.
Taking notes is not very easy and intuitive with a textbook. Writing between the lines and in the margins doesn’t always give you the room you need to make for your notes. It is much easier to take notes on an online textbook than it is a normal textbook, and they can be as long as you want.
Textbooks can be hard to navigate. You have to flip through until you find the right page or chapter, and then scan through to find the right paragraph, and all that could be replaced by a few clicks using a software program on a laptop.
