Should Fairview get ebooks

I think Fairview School District shouldn’t take books out of school. Although the idea is probably popular with a lot of student I don’t think it would work
If Fairview used ebooks, they would need to make sure every student had an itouch type of computer to access the ebooks. They would also have to pay a fee to a company to use the ebooks. Then there is the cost of software upgrades and maintained on there unit.
In addition to the upfront purchase their could also be losts associated with times when the internet would be down or the unit not working. Sometimes the internet goes down for evidenced period and then the ebooks would not be access able. Sometimes students could use this excuse for not doing their homework.
Another reason for not switching to ebooks is because of the distractions it would create. If a student is supposed to access the ebooks instead they could sort the internet, or go on facebook. This computer unit would be just another distraction like cell phones are.
Although the idea of having books on the internet and not having to carry them around sounds good, I feel the costs and district would make this not a good idea
