For those parents and educators struggling
to instill the love of reading in their kids, there is a new solution.

frustrating to search for quality materials online to help my kids read,

learn best,” says Mrs. McLeod.

Come by and Read a Story with Us!

Due to the overwhelming response in favor of the Kindle, an e reading device, Amazon recently introduced the Kindle 2. They have kept the same benefits of the orignal Kindle and added some new features to wow you!

So what does this mean? Most producers of electronic devices create updates and new generations of products.   Apple for example introduces a newer version of their computers, iPods, and iPhones about every 8 months to a year.  Why? Because change is good. Better technology, more advanced features and better products enrich a company’s relationship to both the market and the customer.  Most of us have bought at least two iPods, and upgraded our phones every six months. Why? Becuase the market thrives on flux. Those who like the market and take part in it, i.e, consumers have a innate desire to experiment with novelty and value.

The great thing about the launch of the new Kindle is it proves the market for e-literature is growing. The fact that you can get a textbook when you want it for less than buying the book and download it in class because you forgot to get it a week ago, is remarkable. Buying ebooks opens a door to literature that is thought of as boring or old. If a 15 year old boy is asked to read War and Peace, he groans with dread.

But ask him to download the book and it becomes something he can understand. The use of technology encouages younger students to get involved in reading. It creates a bridge from “have to” to “want to” by virtue of its design.

You can read all about the new features on the Kindle 2 on Amazon’s site! Happy Reading!

If you have been to college or university or know someone who has you understand that buying a textbook for $100+ dollars, using half the book and selling it back for $7 is not the best investment. College students spent a whopping $5.543 Billion (NACS.com) on course required materials. What? That is madness; good for the presses but bad for students. In action against this model, students have founded site that download textbooks in the same way as music file sharing is done. I hear you asking, illegal, yes. Publishers are catching on to this new trend and with a vengance seeking a way to stop it fast. I mean, they have to eat too. 

The students that support these textbook download sites are arguing that given the opportunity to downlaod legal copies of the books without paying insane prices they would. It is faster, more convient and allows books to be taken anywhere a laptop/MP3/4 divice could. 

Is there really a market for this? You betcha. Sales on college campus bookstores are down 14% (The Chronicle of Higher Education) and downloads are up with student speaking out about it.

The growing market for ebooks, whether online or downloaded,  opens up so much possibility for those who they were written to educate. If college students had that option, with legal and open parameters to use this form of technology they would and they would actually open the book to read it.
