E-Books and Education - Rules from the U.S. Department of Education

Readers,


Recently, the United States Department of Education issued new rules on e-reader technologies for higher education institutions -  

http://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/docs/dcl-ebook-faq-201105.pdf

Does your institution require students to use e-readers? It will be interesting to see how these rules affect K-12 schools, many of which are phasing out textbooks in their classrooms.
