Though in a digital age, college students nowadays are still holding fast to traditional books. According to the National Association of College Stores, digital books make up just under 3% of textbook sales, although the association expects that share to grow to 10% to 15% by 2012 as more titles are made available as e-books. However, three-quarters of the students, who grew up learning from print books, say that they are unwilling to give up the ability to turn over quickly between chapters, write in the edges and highlight passages.
The new technology has produced various options for students. College Booksellers, which operates 636 campus bookstores nationwide, is now marketing its new software application, which allows students to read e-textbooks on PCs. The company introduced the free application last summer in hopes of attracting more students to buy its electronic textbooks. "Now the biggest barrier is getting them to try it," said the company’s vice president.
But not every textbook is available in digital or rental format. Generally, an e-textbook is cheaper than a used book, though more expensive than a rental. The expense of college textbooks has become a great concern and teachers from over 40 colleges nationwide are encouraged to assign texts that are less expensive, or to offer them free online. As the buy-back price drops greatly and quickly, some professors suggest that the book stores should not have the last say and there should be something for students to decide by themselves.

A. want to keep the ability of reading print hooks

A. College Booksellers operates more than 600 bookstores in campus
B. The free application was introduced to increase sales of electronic textbooks
C. Campus students now fancy a try of the free software application
D. The company's management still has to do more to sell the e-books
74. We can learn from the passage that ______.
A. second-hand books are cheaper than rental books
B. all the textbooks have both the digital and rental formats
C. the price totally determines the student's selection of books
D. the price of buy-back books are determined by book stores
