ebooks for California students!

 "California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has announced plans to phase out school textbooks in favor of digital learning aids as the state looks to plug its massive budget hole.

The measure -- dubbed the Digital Textbook Initiative -- will see California schoolchildren ditch "outdated" traditional maths and science textbooks for digital versions later this year, Schwarzenegger said."

As an English major, the thought of throwing out books like they are trash is appalling to me...
And I don't know about anyone else, but it hurts my eyes more to read from a computer screen than it does for me to read out of a book. It sounds like an interesting idea, but at the same time, I don't think it's a good one. I don't live in Cali, but it interests me to see what's going on in other places.

Good idea!  It will serve to lighten the sudents' back packs as well.
