In some schools. E-book takes advantage of the student's interest in gadgets, especially in our era where almost everyone, even kids has a mobile phone and it is part of our daily life. A study evaluates people's awareness, interest and intention to use e-books (Jung 2012) states, if found that younger, more education and higher income consumers showed higher levels of awareness, interest and use of e-books." The purpose of this study is to enlighten students and parents of a better possible future of their children that is in need of attention. Having an e-book, you will not have the need to find information on libraries.

RESULTS

Based on the analysis and interpretation of data on the effects of e-books to the grade 10 students of Camp Vicente Lim Integrated School, the study will show the good and bad effects of E-books and some precautionary measures that can be taken to avoid future problem1) E-books are commonly used as past time such as reading novels and webtoons but can also be used as a learning material in subjects like C.H.S.(Computer Hardware Services). 2) E-books is not a distraction to the study because it helps increase the level of reading comprehension of the students, the more they read it unless other factors appear, including the device in which the e-books is in, be used in games. This shows that E-book is not a distraction to the studies instead it is more helpful to the students in every subject especially in C.H.S. It helps the students to enhance more their reading skills.

DISCUSSIONS

This shows that E-book has a lot of use and doesn't only help in physical phases such as being lighter than books, but also in mental aspects because it increases the level of comprehension of the students the more they read and it is more convenient having built in dictionary or installed Websters in the device which E-book is in. E-book is not a distraction to the studies and is more of a help. We recommend that the school and the administrators must require the use of the E-books and should install an application that blocks the installation of games or have a regular inspection of mobile devices of every student. Subjects other than C.H.S (Computer Hardware Services) especially English should also start using E -Books.
