Poo In The River

You know you can...you know what?  You're right.  Books are great for some folks.

Yes, I do know... My Clippings is what it's called in Kindle.

Still easier to make notes on the page, right next to the section the note is about.  (I use post-its, too, as tabs at the top of the book, with written notes/keywords there.)

And yes, you are right - books are great!

Text books.  They should all be available on a reader. 

Kids should not have to carry half their weight from class to class and college students shouldn't have to pay hundreds or thousands for books every semester.

I guess the non-technical world hasn't caught up with the concept of charge the same for a digital copy as a paper copy.  The thought process seems to be that you are paying for the intellectual property, not the cost of publishing.

When supply and demand gets to the market, you will be able to get the digital when you buy paper.  Right now, they are sticking it to you for double price for the same thing.  Market saturation is the friend of the consumer.
