Hmm, very interesting. I can recall my high school days of lugging around a napack full of hardcover textbooks weghing approximatly 1,000 pounds total, I had a whole lot of big books to lug around. I can imagine what it would be like to have all of those books on one tablet, one five ounce tablet vs 1,000 pounds of texts hmm, which one would I rather cart around with me, I wonder. The only troubble that I can see is making sure that the kids have sufficent IT support at home to handle the tablet, my son does.
