Abstract: In this expository paper we describe a relatively elementary method of establishing the existence of a Dutch book in a simple multivariate normal prediction setting. The method involves deriving a nonstandard predictive distribution that is motivated by invariance. This predictive distribution satisfies an interesting identity which in turn yields an elementary demonstration of the ex...

E-Book Acceptance among Undergraduate Students: A Look at the Moderating Role of Technology Innovativeness

This paper utilizes the technology acceptance model (TAM) to uncover the moderating roles of technology innovativeness. A study of 158 undergraduate students revealed that the original TAM constructs and relationships were reliable, supported, and applicable in the measurement of e-book acceptance. Interestingly, personal technology innovativeness was found to moderate in a significant way, the...
