The IPads and Android tablets will have even a bigger impact on all that was previously printed.
One of our younger teenage relatives is in a very competitive private highschool. The school hasn’t used textbooks for over two years. She uses the biggest IPad, no tussel with 40 #’s of books, and a back harming back pack loaded with books. She uses Kindle and similar Ebooks.
Her family gave me an Android table which I prefer over my desktop PC most of the time. I’m using it now. I prefer the Kindle on it versus the PC. I use Kindle for reference reading and genealogy. Enough of us forced our local fishwrap to stop trying to charge us to when we used their online site.
I’m letting the Mayo clinic cancel my subscription for their news letter until they go to Kindle or online.
Some smart company will come out with a free 8 or 10 inch tablet with unlimited wireless service for $25/month or less on an annual contract.
Our light/easy to use tablets will kill the print industry before this decade is over.
