I did a search with no luck. Anyone who has any feedback on one over the other would be greatly appreciated. Is the eCurriculum available through the iPad? How is navigating through the material.
Post your vote on what you prefer to study from.
Thanks!
 
I bought both materials for level 1. The ipad app works well, but my problem isn’t software, it’s the backlit screen. I can only read books for so long on the ipad without it bothering my eyes, in terms of fatigue. If they offered a Kindle version, no problem.
 
Get both. I’d never be able to read five whole textbooks from a computer screen, but it’s nice to have an ebook version if you find you have some additional free time available when you can whip out an ebook quickly.
 
I bought both, did 95% of my reading on ebook. About a third of that was done on the ipad. The only downside to the ipad is if you like to highlight and make notes on the ebook, it’s a pain to do on ipad. But it does sync between the devices though which is good. I like having both the ebook and physical copy when doing EOC problems so I can have the solutions up on my cpu and not have to flip back and forth in the book
 
I’m actually a fan of getting the ebook version. I’m not a fan of carrying around the big books
 
I quite like the ebooks on the iPad, I think they work very well.
What I do is use the paper copies of Schweser and the ebooks of the curriculum. I tend to study from the Schweser books, and the refer to the curriculum ebooks to work through the EOC questions, or refer to if there’s something I haven’t quite grasped and need to go into in more depth.
Plus I always have my iPad or iPhone with me, so even if I’m somewhere without my Schweser book, I can still get a little extra revision done with the ebooks. Having both reduces the amount of dead time dramatically.
 
I bought the ebook version for level I exam only. My eyes were strained at the time due to excessive computer usage (I use a computer at work). I regretted not buying the paper book version as well. The combined cost is only slightly more expensive. Thus, I’d recommend buying both, which is what I did for level II. The ebook allows you to search for keywords during reviews. Also, you can copy/paste into your notes, carry with you around. I managed to get it on Kindle by trimming the margins on a PDF file. Let me know if you want to know how. Now, I use the paper book most of the time and my Kindle when I read on the go. I occasionally use the website.
 
Ebook version works in a pinch, but I like write stuff in the margins for later on, so print is superior for me.
 
If you work in an office, just print out all the books, and take pages with you
 
Bear in mind you have a limited numer of times you can print and loose paper sucks. Get both it doesn’t really cost much more.
 
Get both.
E-Curriculum allows you take it on the go, which is amazing for reading purposes.
Hard copies are good for doing practice problems. I only got the ebook and regret it tremendously as it takes FOREVER AND A HALF to print all the EOC problems.
 
E-Notes are the way to go. I was able to read every page of the curriculum on my downtime at work. My boss didn’t care that I was reading at work since its work related and my nosy co-workers didn’t have a clue what I was doing since I didn’t have a book sitting on my desk.
