This thread reminds me of the Mac vs PC conflict on whether the mac or pc users can read/write better; this was when the mac512 was marketed & scammed people in claiming that "all you need is a mouse".
Some highschool teachers did their studies & published it in the local newspapers; the pc users "won".
I think literacy got worst not because of the use of ebooks but the texting on cell phones. Just think of all what text got truncated in spelling & the acronyms being used; some people even use the same style as texting in newsgroups. I'm outdated as too much stuff is unreadble or cannot be interpreted by me; even my spelling is getting bad.....
