Here is my question, maybe someone can answer me. Where are people going to read books for free? E-books can not be given away or loaned, not without loaning the E-reader as well. I grew up in a somewhat poor house and money to books was not always an option, so I borrowed them from the school library. Where will this option go? The fact is that not everyone can afford an E-reader. Not to mention that reading on a computer screen for a long time gives me a terrible headache. The knowledge, and enjoyment of the library was free to anyone with a library card.
On a slightly diffrent note, storing all your knowledge on something that depends on electricity seems like a very bad idea to me.

I think this may mark the first time you and I have completely agreed on a subject.

I'd be shocked, except that I'm not sure why a HS needs a library in the first place.

I'm not surprised, I've seen enough American movies and TV shows to realize that.

Just because you're unnaturally attuned to "new" things doesn't mean everyone is.
