E-Books

CFA Level I
#1

Is everyone pretty much only utilizing the E-books now from CFAI when they order?

#2

I don’t know about the others, but I have the print version. I am not an e-book person and I find it really easy to study from the books in my hand. Helps in taking notes and revising.

#3

Nope, not yet. Some of us still prefer the good ol’ printed books.

#4

I found the Ebooks useful for the following:

* copying formulas and pasting them in my own format in word

* copying tables (eg, differences between IFRS and US GAAP) and pasting in word

* quickly looking up relevant section when going through answers to exams for review - I don’t like carrying around six books and then flipping through… searching key words, if you know the book, gets you there very quickly.

#5

I bought both. Buying both only costs $40 more if I remember correctly. I use the ebook version for printing out EOC questions to work on during my commute. Other than that I’ve barely touched the CFAI material and only been using Schweser.

#6

I bought only ebooks and im using them to do the EOC questions after the readings. Also im reading the ebook version of the Handbook of ethics which i heard it was really helpfull for the ethics section

#8

I went for print only.

#9

I’m ol’ school and prefer the print version. I think it is a generational think. Anyone in their twenties probably would prefer the ebook.

#10

I wonder if you can buy the books etc on Ebay??!!?
