E-books: Doom or Opportunity?
As electronic devices proliferate, printers worry (perhaps prematurely) about the demise of their craft. But proactive printers are finding ways to leverage these electronic newcomers.
The younger the student, it stands to reason, the less practical it would be to introduce an electronic device, be it a laptop, iPad or e-reader, for individual use. The cost of a lost textbook would pale in comparison to replacing an electronic device. A new iPad2 starts at $499, for example. But, considering the cost to outfit a student with books for a year's worth of classes, Romano believes it's not out of the question that subsequent, less-expensive generations of such devices could, within the next 10 years, make the electronic classroom viable.
