Great idea I think.PagerStalkernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1787192335892341736.post-32067525886398907522009-08-06T07:07:52.054-06:002009-08-06T07:07:52.054-06:00I'm a big fan of the tree wasting book myself....I'm a big fan of the tree wasting book myself. Though I admit, I've never even held a kindle in my own hands. I cant' imagine asking kids to keep track of one though...I'm betting they'd be destroyed pretty quickly.Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05615149112130152767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1787192335892341736.post-77767402666187870662009-08-05T16:38:44.655-06:002009-08-05T16:38:44.655-06:00Very easy to read and very easy on the eyes.

Is it easy to read? Easy on the eyes? Smell like a freshly bound book? Do you get to see the graphics of the front of a novel? Give me deets. I don't want to go to Amazon and make it easier on you.mavenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1787192335892341736.post-41457209611494766522009-08-05T07:46:37.858-06:002009-08-05T07:46:37.858-06:00I have a Kindle as well and I love it.

In my opinon, they are still pretty pricey and the chances of having to replace a fair amount of them after a year seem pretty good. Besides that, how many schools use the same books over and over again each year? The cost of buying a few new paperback books each year can't be more than it would cost to replace the Kindles. I can see how they could be beneficial to schools but maybe more so in a few years when they aren't so new and the price has gone down a litle.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07471380346462659329noreply@blogger.com
