I don't think the number of people you copy from makes much difference. What counts giving credit to those whose ideas you use, whether you quote or paraphrase, and making it clear what new and brilliant thoughts are yours. I think that might be what CSmhacky was trying to say. jimmg, you make an interesting point. I don’t think the number of people you copy from makes much difference.

All knowledge is built from previous knowledge. As we read, study, perform experiments, and gather perspectives, we are using other people's ideas. Building on other people's ideas, we create our own. In order to understand plagiarism, it helps to understand the process of sharing and creating ideas in the university.

But i would still go for print/books because at least i can read it all the times.It is really hard to read soft copied materials and the tendency of understanding each contents is very low. But we have options, if we think ebook is cool then we can't do anything (we are living in cyberworld). It is really how we understand the subject matter regardless of which materials we are going to use. Most students usually prefer e-books because of they have only a limited time in researching.
