Not everyone's cheering as last textbooks leave Huntsville classrooms (al.com)

4. You can easily change the font size to what you need.

My tablet is set to be the same font size as the average paperback. My wife's is set like the large print hardcovers.

If the books are stored locally on the tablets/readers, then there is no issue if the main system goes down. They can still read.

I graduated high school in the late 90s. My last 2 years, we had a digital system in place (albeit, much more rudimentary than what we have now) that was an optional class. I was behind in credits (I was a slacker), and was able to use the digital system to catch up on credits. For me, it was much easier to learn and test on (I could work at my own pace, which was more accelerated than most classes). From the experiences I had, I fully support the new systems that some schools go to.

I still read paperbacks/hardcovers, listen to CDs/vinyl, and watch physical media (DVD/BluRay), but I also use my tablet/computer to read, listen, and watch. Convenience.
