Re: Prep School deems books an "outdated technology"

Here is my question, maybe someone can answer me. Where are people going to read books for free? E-books can not be given away or loaned, not without loaning the E-reader as well. I grew up in a somewhat poor house and money to books was not always an option, so I borrowed them from the school library. Where will this option go? The fact is that not everyone can afford an E-reader. Not to mention that reading on a computer screen for a long time gives me a terrible headache. The knowledge, and enjoyment of the library was free to anyone with a library card.
On a slightly diffrent note, storing all your knowledge on something that depends on electricity seems like a very bad idea to me.

I think this may mark the first time you and I have completely agreed on a subject.

I think they should have done both.

I thought about making a post, but it would be a poor version of this one. I agree completely. *NM*

I'd be shocked, except that I'm not sure why a HS needs a library in the first place.

I'm not surprised, I've seen enough American movies and TV shows to realize that.

I think this is probably a good decision.

Yes. No one writing directly from wikipedia should BE in college.

They still have physical classrooms, and they're whining about "outdated technology"? Pfft. *NM*

Yeah, you can actually. Have you tried curling up with an eBook reader?

Just because you're unnaturally attuned to "new" things doesn't mean everyone is.
