dc.description.abstractUsing a survey approach, this study explored consumers' uses and gratifications for e-books and hardcopy books, specifically, ownership, personal use and venues for purchasing them. The survey of 124 respondents revealed hard copies of the printed word were the most commonly used medium, while e-readers were the second to least used. Results suggest that readers will continue to use textbooks, in most cases, in printed form.en_US
