Technology-savvy students are turning their backs on traditional textbooks and downloading digital copies instead, a new poll has suggested.

Digital textbooks are now owned by four in five (80%) of the student population, it revealed.

The average worth of these study aids is now around £152, with around a third of those questioned saying their collection has an estimated value of £200 or more.
