Hi Jeri, You are able to print one page at a time, which many media specialists appreciate...so students aren't printing out entire books. You can also cut and paste text into emails. Students also have a personal workspace with project folders where they can store all of their research.

We gave it a trial this year, but the students HATED it. They're so used to being able to print out and email documents to themselves, that they found it very frustrating using the ebooks. So I'm questioning whether it's worth the money if the kids won't use it.
