that is like a tablet, in that I can write with digital ink, circle,
highlight, and markup a text, just like I would with a paper book. I'll
personally buy into digital books when 1) I can download them to my
tablet (maybe I can already do that with some?), or when eBook readers
allow real markup. That will be the turning point for me...oh, and when
publishers deeply discount the cost of the texts from the paper
versions, because, hopefully, their production costs will be lower
(although they will have new tech costs to bear). =20

Subject: Electronic textbooks, what's happening?
What's happening with electronic textbooks for independent schools? When
will we get there and how? All that students will need is a book reader
and a computer, preferably one in the same. How can we plan for this
inevitable future?
