Technology is continually developing and expanding into all corners of education. A new experience for me this semester is utilizing an e-book for this course as opposed to the usual text book. While I am still adapting, it is nice to carry only a Nuk instead of bulky text books. The Nuk is Barnes and Nobles version of the Kindle. Unfortunately, one cannot highlight content, but referencing sections of the book is quite easy in through the menu page. I wouldn't of guessed even a few months ago I would be this advanced in technology that I now read my books electronically. While e-books are not largely popular as of yet, I believe in the near future there is the potential for this format to take off as it is less expensive and much more compact. Once I moved past the insecurity of not having a physical book in my hand, I found I enjoy reading my books in this format and look forward to when all of my books will be available this way. See the link below and scroll down to the e-books section for more information.
