Abstract
The invention of the web and evolution of mobile technology has brought about changes in today’s teaching and learning styles. They have also changed the dynamics of how resources such as study materials for students learning, are being disseminated. With these invention and evolution, study materials are now increasingly being disseminated in electronic format popularly referred to as eBook. E-books are gradually becoming the popular means of sharing learning information with students, and hence, they are becoming easy to access within most educational institutions. However, in spite of its benefits, studies have shown that students are facing challenges with regards to its adoption. This study was conducted to identify the challenges faced by students in the adoption of e-books. A quantitative research design was employed in the study; hence 250 questionnaires were distributed to students. The findings of the study show that poor screen presentation and resolution, digital rights and page navigation are some of the challenge’s students face, in the adoption of e-books. The findings, however, also shows that students prefer e-books due to their accessibility, cost effectiveness and ease of use.
