Opinion: Schools should proceed with caution on e-books


Many schools are abandoning textbooks in favor of e-books and tablet computers, but writer Nicholas Carr urges them to consider research that shows paper books still have some advantages.

Carr also cites a study suggesting that college students still prefer print reading. Star Tribune (Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minn.)/Dallas Morning News
