With College Library buildings closed and students working from home as they face into exams, ebooks are definitely having a moment. Browsing the academic literature reveals a few reasons why:


Ebooks are portable (Frederick, 2015Marques, 2012: 15) and available 24/7 (Jeong, 2012: 391). Their content is keyword searchable and there are navigation aspects enhanced within a digital environment (Wu and Chen, 2011: 300), such as links to other digital content
