Author(s) SUBHAMITA SARKAR

Abstract With the quick development of digital technology, e-book reading habits have become more popular since they provide a practical and easily accessible substitute for conventional print media. These behaviours are influenced by things like personal preferences, internet connectivity, and device availability. Knowing these trends helps one better understand how digital reading affects education, leisure, and information consumption in the contemporary era. This study explores the attitude of senior secondary students towards e-book reading habits in respect of gender, location , Arts, Science and Commerce stream, family type and types of internet connection used. To achieve the objectives of this study, a descriptive survey was employed. A 30 item questionnaire was prepared based on five point Likert scale and data was collected from senior secondary students in this study. A randomly selected sample of 130 senior secondary students from Hooghly District in West Bengal participated in this research. The findings suggest no statistically significant differences in attitudes toward e-books across gender, location, academic stream, family type, or type of internet connection. While males, urban students, commerce students, joint family members, and Wi-Fi users had slightly higher mean scores, these differences were marginal and not meaningful. Despite slight variations in the mean scores across the categories, statistical analysis showed no significant differences at the 0.05 level in respect to different factors.
