So a student wants to look up a simple question on a math topic for a quiz or test coming up in 15 minutes. She's sitting in a hallway and doesn't have time to run down to the computer room to do this. Or the room is full.
Will students have access to the same material at home? What if they don't own, or can't afford, a computer?
What is the cost of all this compared to replacing the books? Take into account having to replace the outdated online material as often as replacing outdated books.
I know I'm not alone when I say I learn much better with a book in my hand. I can "scroll" faster, index faster, almost everything is just faster. Yes, you can search on a computer faster but general reading is always more pleasurable with a book in hand.
