E-books vs. Print Books for International Affairs

[Roger84]

I was wondering if it would be worth while to buy a e-book reader for graduate school. I will be studying International Affairs, if that makes a difference. Specifically I am wondering if IA programs require buying enough books to make it worth my while. Also are e-readers viable for studying etc. I am looking at Fletcher and SIPA.

well, it depends on whether your assigned readings are available as e-books, doesn't it?

It's pretty likely that the majority of your classes will require at least 4-5 books. Might not be a bad idea to check the campus bookstore's site (if they list the books by course there) and see if the books there are available as e-books.
