[QUOTE="brett636, post: 877415, member: 249"] Ipads or some kind of e-reader are the next logical step in classroom reading. Books are heavy, expensive, and take a lot of paper, and if something changes regarding the information in them you have to start all over again updating then reprinting and distributing more books to the classrooms that need them. In the meantime the classroom has old obsolete textbooks with bad information in them and with an Ipad or e-reader you can eliminate a lot of these problems. The e-books can be cheaper because they require almost no material to produce, they can be updated overnight as history is made or new discoveries in math or science are found. Textbooks will no longer be necessary, nor will libraries as these e-readers become the default choice for classrooms and people of all walks of life. An account we just picked up this spring was one we lost to fedex ground a few years ago that primarily ships textbooks to schools. I am glad to have the volume as its helped create a need for new feeder runs in my area, but that volume will become a thing of the past as the books those warehouses now hold and ship will be converted into an electronic form that requires no physical movement of the material.
