Being a former school librarian, I wonder, though, about difficult it would be to keep track of those e-book readers (because they would certainly be checked out of the library). I had a hard enough time getting textbooks back. I can only imagine how hard it would be to get a cool piece of technology back. :) But it absolutely is the future for both public and not-so-public students. I think the only part open for debate is how it happens. Hi Carrie,

I wonder if a student could have one e-book reader assigned to them for all their years in high school, and have it include all their textbooks, so that they could refer to them as needed for a refresher on key concepts.
