Why don't schools switch to EBook Readers to cut down on the number of books students have to carry?
If I was a student, today, I would scan all my books into Adobe Acrobat files to keep in a laptop.
Ebook readers, while great for carrying lots of books around, have some disadvantages for students.
All of them are fragile, and none of the current dedicated ebook readers are really good at PDFs. I don't know if any of them are letter-sized, which means you have to deal with either very tiny pages, or zooming in and scrolling to read.
Laptops have relatively short battery lives, and laptop screens aren't optimized for reading books; they wind up with a lot of wasted space, or playing zoom-and-scroll games.
You can't hold an ebook open to three different sections and flip between them to compare facts. With some software, you can mark up PDFs, but a lot of readers and most laptops don't have access to those features. Scanned PDFs aren't searchable unless someone runs OCR on them, so they're slightly more troublesome to look through than paper books; you can't flip quickly through them the way you can with paper.
Some software allows PDF bookmarking, but some ebook readers & some laptops don't have access to that, either.
It's a great idea, but the technology just isn't quite ready for students to switch to digital books yet.
