As eBooks are cheaper than printed ones, the Amsterdam’s library could be able to buy more “electronic titles” than those are printed, reported by Mrs. Ong, a professor of Centre for Mathematics and Computer Science (CWI) in Amsterdam (Renner 3). Moreover, according to the Federal Communications Commission, schools can “save $250 each year per students” when they use e-textbooks instead of traditional textbooks (FCC Chairman 1). Additionally, some eBooks are free. For example, “With the Admiral of the Ocean Sea” is free on Google Books while it
