Hi readers! Its weekly poll result again.
For this week poll result, there are a total of 14 voters who voted for our weekly poll question. Based on the above result, it shows that out of 14 voters, there are 2 voters which is equivalent to 14% vote "e-book". They probably thought that e-book is more expensive than textbook because it uses electronic devices like laptop to study. E-book is where it is like a printed textbook uploaded in the computer. Students study with the use of electronic devices. Not only that, they probably thought that e-book is more expensive as they have to pay more on the electrical bills. They need to turn their laptops for long hours just to study using e-book from laptops.
Apart from that, there are 11 voters, 79% think that textbook is more expensive than e-book. They thought that textbooks are produced by using papers and that is why it is expensive. Nowadays, papers are very valuable and the price of textbooks increase. It requires people to cut a lot of trees to make a one whole thick textbook. In addition, they also thought that textbooks with colour are more expensive as when the textbooks are in printing process, it requires a lot of ink from the printing machine to print textbooks. It requires man power to run the machine as well. Not only that, when the textbooks are distributed to the bookstore, transportation fees and some other fees will be charged.
Besides, there is 1 voter, 7% vote for "I don't know". Well, there is not all people know how to difference the price between e-book and textbook. It does not matter which one is cheaper or expensive, it is a matter of the distribution of information and quality of information. Respondent probably does not really care about the price of e-books or textbooks because respondent just wanted to have a good education.
There is none of the respondent vote for "the price is slightly the same". This is because the respondents probably know which book is more expensive. They are clear with the cost of e-book and textbook because they probably has done some research on the cost of e-book and textbook.
Summary: Well, students who use e-books will probably think that textbooks are expensive whereas students who use textbooks will probably think that e-books are expensive. It is not the matter of cost, it is a matter of whether or not students will get good education. It is still the quality of the information that gives students good education.
