Why not eBook textbooks?
I am currently a high school student with a full schedule and way too many textbooks. I would say that an average student at my school has to carry around four or 5 textbooks in his or her backpack, a weight equivalent to about one or two small freshmen. Lockers are provided, but are often in inconvenient locations, and, with 5 minutes of passing time, it is often difficult to walk all the way across campus to a locker and back.
What's a geek to do? Here's the connection to technology. As you may have guessed, I'm talking about ebook-etextbooks saved as PDF files. Some PDAs are already cheap enough that they can be purchased and equipped with book-reading software for the price of one of the more expensive textbooks currently in use.
