4) Buying Kindle books and owning it forever is old news- but now you can rent them too. But as another student who has tried the Kindle-textbook solution in the past, I agree with the other points more or less. I will add that being able to search the entire text of the book instantly is a huge plus for me. I really really want to like e-textbooks, but I wouldn't try experiment again without the large-format Kindle, and I just can't justify the massively increased price over the smaller Kindle.

Having the entire text searchable is a really big plus. I wish that physical textbooks would start including a digital index, to make it easier to find things in them.
