thanks for the link ! that is an excellent article and very encouraging. we've often talked about the advantages of ebooks en education here and that article makes some very good points, including pointing out that the best solutions is doubtless a mix of both paper and ebooks depending on the context.

it's great to see that texas is so forward-thinking in this area ; it's a big state so could have quite a lot of weight with the industry if they throw their support into this area, and help move things forward much more quickly for educational materials delivered digitally. and learning to use technology from a young age will be more and more important for students in the future as well as it's becoming crucial to so many professional situations.
