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.

For those of you who subscribe to Questia, do you find your students use
it?  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.
