In the know. In the Times.

Online sales giant Amazon reported this week that people are buying more e-books for their kindles than hardcover books.  Is this a new trend?  Are people going to stop reading paper copies of books in exchange for digital versions that are stored on an electronic device?  Many differing opinions are given in the article that starts on the front page of today’s Times.  How about you? Do you have a kindle, iPad or other electronic book reading device?  Clearwater High School is going digital this year, issuing kindles to every student in place of traditional textbooks.  What are your thoughts, do you prefer to read a paperback book, or has the digital e-book won you over?  We would like to see your discussion here on our blog.
