We prefer print over digital,

but not as much as we used to.

We’re becoming more keen on

digital homework solutions.

We’re less and less impressed by flat digital

We’d rather buy, rent, or borrow a used textbook.

Students Are Becoming More VocalDigital natives have high expectations as consumers
