Then we can ensure those pesky children using up OUR tax dollars in low-income areas stay where they belong: out of school when they can't even afford a Kindle!

I know most courses in engineering are still taught with blackboards and chalk. I have a few students using E books as the text book. They have a harder time following what I am doing on the board because they can't jump back and forth between pages that are in different parts of the book. They also have an issue when I point out a simplification in the method the book missed or worse an error in the book. The ones with hard copies just jot it down and keep going.

Earlyman Male, 30-39, Southern US 154 Posts	Friday, September 16, 2011 6:53:33 AM A few things come to mind. No one ever stole ALL my text books while I was at a McDonalds. And books don't get viruses and crash, it seems a little all eggs in one basket to me.
