There is a slow response of publishers to digitize textbooks to ebooks in order to consider the benefits and disadvantages of switching from print to digital. One big problem is how to distribute the technology equally in order to benefit students in schools.

Amazon is trying to push schools in the U.S. to use the popular e-reader, Kindle. Amazon believes that the use of kindles in the classroom will make students more enthusiastic about reading.

At Princeton University there was a pilot for using e-readers where students were able to give input and feedback about using e-readers. Students appreciated the reading part of the kindle and saving paper, but would like to see better functions for note-taking, highlighting, and easier note-taking while using the kindle.
