This article focuses on the discussion of using ebooks instead of printed books. At the end of the article, the author wants the votes of students to factor their opinions on the decision/notion of implementing this new plan. I think that ebooks are a good tool to use for todays student. Students are constantly texting and using their ipods so this use of ebooks with allow them to read context with substance. The teachers also want the students to be able to comment on the text read through technology promptly after reading a source.<br />
