Abstract: E-books have quickly become one of the most popular forms of educational media, particularly among university students. E-books can take the form of text stored in digital format, a digitised book, digital reading material, a book stored in a computer file format, or an electronic file containing words or images that have been assigned unique IDs. The purpose of this study is to investigate university students’ perceptions of e-books as effective tools for learning. The qualitative research method, using a phenomenological approach and semi-structured online in-depth interviews, was employed as the research design for this study. The interviewees were university students from Universiti Teknologi MARA (Shah Alam Campus) who frequently use e-books in their studies. The findings revealed that e-books are effective tools for learning compared to printed books for several reasons.
