Similarly, the fact that the students may benefit by using educational apps (although I would like more detail on this), or the fact that students may benefit generally from having an iPad, is not the same as saying that e-textbooks on an ipad are as good as physical textbooks.

I agree. The previous study by the OP showed that the school was looking at how the students studied and their usage regarding classwork. This one seemed to be more focused on price as well as access to additional helping applications.
