My sister that's studying medicine says that her books would be totally ruined in half a year if she used them like she uses the virtual ones.

The same is true for my students (german school system, iPads form 7th to 13th grade): They are marking, annotating and rearranging parts of the digitized pages as they like. It would be impossible with printed books. (ok, they could take a picture with the camera and do the same) They have/use printed books but most of the students are borrowing them from the school and are not allowed to write in them.

So I use mostly digital material and most of the books stay at home for studying (the books are heavy).

How does she use the virtual ones?
Ndr42 said it better than I could.
