Heck, the textbooks my school used, if you damaged them, they'd charge you for the book, and they were $100 or so, so if you measure that out, and consider the expenses per book/per tablet, it would be a much cheaper option for schools to go to tablets, and put money into something else useful for the children!
Also, this is completely off topic of whether or not schools should use the tablets, but I do respect your love of physical books!cbmatte07 wrote:This particular topic often comes up for discussion. I have tested the E-readers both via tablet, smartphone and Kindle and it just does NOT measure up to a physical book in hand. You cant smell the pages, flip the pages in eager anticipation of the next page, it takes the perhaps irrelevant fun out of having a fancy bookmark or book-light. As convenient as these electronics may be whats to stop you from throwing a paperback in your purse? Or carrying around a favorite or enticing hard cover? My opinion is if your REALLY are a book lover you would appreciate the homey feeling of having a BOOK not a machine in your hands. The strain on your eyes. The expense. Not to mention its eliminating the use for libraries and book stores for more electronics and that takes away a piece of history in my mind.
