One of the basic courses that all Business Studies students at the polytechnic must take is basic cost accounting. It's thorough, practical, and theoretically sound. Power-point slides and library-borrowed reference books are typically used in the teaching and learning process in the classroom. With the development of technology, this conventional method of instruction faces difficulties in piquing students' interests. The electronic book has been introduced as a new method of information acquisition. This study aimed to examine how students felt about basic cost accounting e-books in terms of interface, study materials, exercises given, and the practicality of the e-book. The Polytechnic Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah's Commerce Department hosted this descriptive study utilizing a questionnaire, which included 68 participants who took this course and used the e-book. The data were analyzed using central tendency measures. The data collection results showed that students have a favorable opinion of electronic books. Based on the findings, it is clear that all aspects have very high scores which proves that students have a good and positive perception of e-books. This research demonstrates the potential of e-books as a learning tool and their beneficial effects on instruction and learning.
