- There will be less need to stop at a locker in between classes, so there may be less tardiness.
- Page changes on a Kindle are a bit slow, but not necessarily a deal-killer, especially since you can do a keyword search.
- The administration isn't snowing people by declaring it's a cost savings before they've tried it out.
- High school students shouldn't annotate their textbooks. It would be better if they did have that option, but for this particular group it won't be a missed function.
I agree.
